Mr K P McConnell v Wm Morrisons Supermarkets Ltd

The EAT allowed the appeal in part. Indirect discrimination and reasonable adjustments are remitted to a fresh Employment Tribunal. The appeal on TUPE assignment and victimisation was dismissed.

The Employment Appeal Tribunal gave judgment in Mr K P McConnell v Wm Morrisons Supermarkets Ltd on 25 September 2026. The claimant appealed an Employment Tribunal decision that had dismissed his claims after a hearing in October 2023.

The judgment describes a back condition following an accident in 2010. The employer accepted by 2012 that the claimant was disabled. In late 2019 or early 2020, he was moved permanently to the Returns and Recycling Unit.
