They've retracted their offer? It doesn't sound like they have a claim then?
Have you done any research on the employer - I wonder if this is a carefully orchestrated scam.
- they want to hold her to a contract that they didn't give her a copy of
- they no longer want to employer her, but now want damages from her
- did they ever ask her about medical conditions? Could her mental illness be described as a disability for the purposes of the quality Act 2010.
Has she lied on her application?
is there any evidence that they actually checked her references?
Perhaps her defence is now much simpler - I'm ready to work, assuming they are ready to make reasonable adjustments for my disabilities.
If they persist a counter claim for discrimination might be applicable.
