Representation:

an employee had not sufficiently set out the grounds of a complaint of disability discrimination for it to be regarded as raising a grievance under the statutory grievance procedures, albeit it did mention a number of concerns regarding his health.

editor's note:
From October 2004, employees must raise a grievance with their employers before their complaint of disability discrimination will be admitted by the employment tribunal. Although the letter relied on in this case was sufficient for the purposes of constructive dismissal and unlawful deduction of wages claims, it was not sufficient to raise an issue under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and his claim was therefore barred from proceeding.
