Hi Martin
The quota not necessary because if one Feels one has been rejected
simply because of disability, One can sue the company.
The problem will be to win such a case one would need to
Show the court evidence to backup such claim of Discrimination.

There was a quota for the numbers of disabled people employed in a company

I agree with you again Derek but not talking about the company you mention,
in general, I believe the sad situation is that there has to be a ruling
authority about employing a number of disabled people in the workplace,
otherwise such people are left on the back burner.
