EAT RACE DISCRIMINATION – Direct
The Employment Judge struck out the Claimant’s case of race discrimination on the ground of his Nigerian nationality as having no reasonable prospect, knowing how rare such an order is. On appeal the Claimant who did not attend the Employment Tribunal accepted he was not as qualified by experience etc as those sifted to interview. The case was bound to fail under section 3 (relevant comparator) and Madarassy and the judge did not err in striking it out.
