Lewisham London Borough Council v Malcolm (Equality and Human Rights Commission intervening) [2008] UKHL 43; [2008] WLR (D) 205

“A landlord’s claim for a possession order against a disabled tenant who sublet the premises in breach of the tenancy agreement did not amount to unlawful discrimination for a reason which related to the tenant’s disability. A tenant without a disability who had similarly sublet the premises would have been treated in exactly the same way as the tenant with a disability.”
