On the single ground the Tribunal held that there was conduct from which it could conclude that Respondent would have been treated differently if she was white and the Appellants had not discharged the onus of proof. On appeal, held there was no basis on which the ET could have held that the onus had passed to the Appellants. Appeal allowed.
