NRI Woman Wins UK Employment Appeal on Disability Discrimination Case

Sanju Pal, an NRI professional from West Bengal suffering from endometriosis, won her appeal at the UK Employment Appeal Tribunal after a six-year legal battle against Accenture. The tribunal found the original Employment Tribunal's reasoning on disability discrimination under the Equality Act 2010 inadequate, requiring a fresh assessment of whether her condition substantially affects daily activities. Pal also challenged Accenture's 'up or out' promotion model as unfair under the Employment Rights Act 1996. The case will return to a new tribunal for reconsideration.
