The respondent appealed a finding of race discrimination. The claimant had been dismissed without any disciplinary procedures being followed. Previous members of staff had not been so treated. The appellant claimed that the tribunal had also found that staff member not to be a comparator.
Held: The notes clearly indicated an unexplained change of mind by the tribunal as to whether the previous employee dismissed was a comparator. The decision could not stand, and was remitted for rehearing. The decision against the third respondent was vitiated by false assumptions made by the tribunal, and was allowed.
