Employment judge Richard Nicolle said: “Ms Kogut’s claim that the [British Library] failed to make a reasonable adjustment to provide her with a quiet location within its premises succeeds in accordance with... the Equality Act.
The tribunal heard that the library, her employer, failed to provide her with a quieter workstation or offer an alternative role.
The national library of the United Kingdom is home to the second largest collection of books, periodicals, journals and sound recordings in the world.
A woman who claimed the British Library was too noisy to work in has reportedly won £7,500 in an employment tribunal.
Lidia Kogut sued the King’s Cross institution for “failing to make reasonable adjustments” and won her case this week, according to the Daily Mail.
