"Collins v. Royal National Theatre Board Ltd" [2004] [http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/judgmentsfiles/j2297/collins-v-national_theartre.htm EWCA Civ 144] ; [2004] IRLR 395 is a case under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. It concerns the duty of an employer to make reasonable accommodations for a disabled employee.
Facts
Mr Collins lost part of his finger in an accident at the Royal National Theatre’s carpentary shop, making his hand clumsy. He had worked there 18 years. He refused surgery and was dismissed.
Judgment
Sedley LJ held that there was a failure on the Theatre's part to make reasonable adjustments.
On a technical point, he held that reasons why the employer had not made any effort to adjust the workplace for the employee could not be brought up in argument if they had already been dismissed when looking at whether there was a duty to make reasonable adjustments in the first place.
