� November 2005 was the tenth anniversary of the passing of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA).
This study presents a judicial outcome analysis regarding employment using decisions taken and made
public by appellate courts during the eight years since the Act‟s implementation. This survey replicates
a corresponding study undertaken in the US by Colker (2001) during the first eight years of the
implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) (1990). As distinct from Colker‟s study,
this paper presents data under four headings: jurisdictional/procedural; disability;
discrimination/justification; and enforcement tests. The study shows that jurisdictional/procedural and
disability tests have prevented disabled employees from gaining protection offered by the DDA.
Furthermore the overall success rate of 63% for employers suggests that the problem lies within the
rules themselves rather than from their application by tribunals and appellate courts. Thus the DDA has
been a windfall for employers and, it is argued, will continue to be so for the next decade despite the
amended post-2004 DDA provisions. It is noted that the overall failure rate of 63% is lower for
employees in the UK than the 87% in the US as quoted by Colker (2001). Further research on judicial
outcome is recommended regarding all major anti-discriminatory disability and equal opportunity
legislation.
