EAT RACE DISCRIMINATION – Indirect
JURISDICTIONAL POINTS – Extension of time: just and equitable
Extension of time for presentation of a claim for indirect race discrimination where claim presented 19 months after the act complained of. Employment Judge erred in failing to take account of two important aspects of evidence from witnesses who he had found to be truthful. Since that evidence demonstrated that it could not be said that the Claimant was reasonably ignorant of the possibility of presenting a claim to an Employment Tribunal and, furthermore, that the Claimant had no relevant case of indirect discrimination, the Tribunal’s decision was set aside by the Employment Appeal Tribunal and claim dismissed.
