Application for disability discrimination dismissed; termination during probation was based on performance, not diabetes.
The applicant alleged discrimination in employment on the basis of disability (diabetes) after his employment was terminated during his probationary period, two days after a pre-employment medical.
The Tribunal found that while the employer was aware of the applicant's diabetes, the timing of the termination alone was insufficient to establish a prima facie case of discrimination.
The medical had recommended him for employment, and the termination was based on performance issues.
The application was dismissed.
