Disability discrimination | Museum worker unfairly sacked over excessive emails to colleague

A museum technician sacked for reportedly bombarding a colleague with excessive emails has won a claim for unfair dismissal, with an employment tribunal ruling that her employer failed to properly consider her disabilities and alternative resolutions before terminating her employment.

An employment tribunal found that V & A Enterprises - which runs the Victoria & Albert Museum in London - unfairly dismissed Ms J Dickinson and also discriminated against her because of actions arising from her disability.
