Bijlani v Stewart QC and Others: EAT 20 Dec 2012

EAT Race Discrimination : Direct
Detriment
The Employment Tribunal did not err in holding that the actions complained of in the Complaints the subject of the appeal were not taken on grounds of race. They did not misdirect themselves in law on this issue and their judgment and reasons did not include expressly or by implication a finding that a decision of which complaint was made was taken in part on such grounds. Nor, reading the reasons as a whole, did the Employment Tribunal leave open this possibility. Insofar as the Employment Tribunal held that intention or ‘targeting’ was relevant to the question of whether the Complainant suffered a detriment they erred.
