'Directly connected' | Finance boss with cancer was told his sickness hurt the business, tribunal hears

A finance director battling cancer was harassed over the impact of his sickness absence and denied fair treatment on pay, an employment tribunal has ruled.

A tribunal held in Reading found that Mr L Ralfs, who was diagnosed with relapsed Hodgkin’s lymphoma shortly after joining The Arbib Education Trust, was subjected to unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation linked to his illness, culminating in his constructive dismissal.
