Win for disability rights woman

A British woman has won the initial stages of a landmark legal case at the European Court of Justice which could give new rights to millions of carers.

The Advocate-General agreed that Sharon Coleman suffered "discrimination by association".

The legal secretary claimed her former London employers Attridge Law described her as "lazy" for wanting time off to care for her disabled son.

A panel of European judges will make a final ruling later this year.
