Elegbede v Nexen Petroleum UK Ltd: EAT 8 Nov 2010

EAT VICTIMISATION; DISCRIMINATION; DISMISSAL
Race discrimination. Sex discrimination. Employment Tribunal found that a Claimant who had done a protected act (he had complained of race discrimination) had, in one respect, suffered less favourable treatment than a comparator who had not carried out such an act would have done. Claim failed, however, since Tribunal also found that the allegation on which the Claimant’s complaint was based was false and made in bad faith.
Appeal dismissed.
