[QUOTE="cugila, post: 149171, member: 15325"] Type 2's MAY be covered in SOME or even ALL areas.........it is simply not as clear cut as some make out. It is because this legislation is a veritable minefield for those who read it and put their [b]own[/b] interpretation on what they read. It is also a fact that [b]each case[/b] would be treated on it's merits. Nothing is cut and dried. None of the members including myself are experts in Employment and Disability Discrimination Law. The people that are have spent years training to be experts and sometimes even they can get it wrong. Big time !! So, we offer our opinions.....based on our own experiences. We tell people to get proper legal advice from all the organisations that have been mentioned in your own and other previous posts. If you research the Law reports and stated cases from Tribunals and various appeals you will find that it isn't clear if a Type 2 is covered in certain aspects of this particular legislation. That is why people who come here asking for advice should know that there are no experts here, just members who want to help. Sometimes those members can be wrong, but think that they are right because that is how they have read something.......but unfortunately misinterpreted it. That's what Tribunals are for .....to decide if the case is valid or not. Sometimes even when someone thinks they have right on their side it turns out because of one little clause they misread, they are not going to win a case.....a technicality. It happens all the time. I spent a lifetime dealing with both Criminal and Civil Law, was involved in Tribunal's etc......I still wouldn't tell anybody that some things are fact and encourage them to go down a route challenging their Employer without proper expert legal advice..........something that frankly you will not get from a Diabetic Forum.......however knowledgeable some members think they are. We can all say we are right........doesn't mean to say we actually are........ :| Ken. [/QUOTE]
