The claimant A appeared in person and was not represented.
The respondents were represented by Ms R Best, Barrister-at-Law, instructed by Crown Solicitor’s Office.

(i) that part of the claimant’s claim relating to the vetting process was presented within the prescribed time-limit;
(ii) the claimant was not a disabled person within the meaning of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and his claim is therefore dismissed; and
