Hinsley v Chief Constable of West Mercia Constabulary

Post-employment discrimination cases are rare, and those involving disability even rarer. The case of Hinsley v Chief Constable of West Mercia Constabulary is a good example of how the law operates in these circumstances. It is of particular relevance where mental impairments are concerned, because it deals with the situation of an employee finding out shortly after resigning that she has been suffering from depression and then regretting the decision to leave because it was made in a distressed state of mind.
