"In appealing, we are seeking absolute clarity for the higher education sector around the application of the Equality Act when staff do not know a student has a disability, or when it has yet to be diagnosed." "However the judgement suggests they should have gone further than this, although Natasha's mental health difficulties had not been diagnosed," the spokesperson said.
In his original judgement, the judge said: "In my judgement there can be no doubt that there was direct discrimination, especially once the university knew or should have known that a mental health disability of some sort was preventing Natasha from performing."
