The Court of Appeal in Northern Ireland has allowed an appeal by Christine McElroy against an Industrial Tribunal decision that dismissed her claims against the Northern Health and Social Care Trust. The court found that the tribunal misapplied the statutory test for disability and remitted the entire case to a differently constituted panel to consider all issues afresh. The judgment was delivered on 3 November 2026 by Colton LJ, with McBride LJ and M Smyth J.
