O’Neill v Metronet Rail BVC Ltd: EAT 7 Dec 2009

EAT RACE DISCRIMINATION
Direct
JURISDICTIONAL POINTS
Extension of time: reasonably practicable
2002 Act and pre-action requirements
The Claimant was employed for less than one year. On the substance of his case, the Employment Tribunal found race played no part in his treatment by the employer. It addressed the law correctly and on the facts made a permissible application of the law. Even if he succeeded on the procedural and time points, he could not overcome these findings. There is no error in an Employment Tribunal finding the employer behaved unfairly or unreasonably yet race played no part: Zafar.
