European Court Rules Obesity Can Be Disability
The European Court of Justice says obesity can be a disability, a ruling that could have consequences for employers across the continent.
The court ruled Thursday in the case of a Danish child-minder who says he was unfairly fired for being fat.
The court said if obesity hinders "full and effective participation in professional life," it could count as a disability. Discrimination on the grounds of disability is illegal under European Union law.
