Today the EAT handed down it's decision in The Child Support Agency (Dudley) v Truman.
This was the first time that the EAT had considered the question of appropriate comparators since the House of Lords judgment in London Borough of Lewisham v Malcolm.
The EAT confirmed that Malcolm did apply in the context of employment and that the Novacold comparator no longer applies in disability-related cases.
Mark Williams represented the successful appellant.
