The complainant, a long-haul truck driver, was dismissed by his employer after returning from a medical leave for a heart condition.
The employer claimed the dismissal was necessary because the company's insurance policy might be cancelled and the complainant posed a safety risk.
The Tribunal found that the employer failed to prove that the insurance policy was actually at risk of cancellation or that the complainant posed an unacceptable safety risk.
The Tribunal concluded that the dismissal was discriminatory and awarded general damages, moral damages, lost wages, and medical expenses, along with public interest remedies.
