Rank Nemo (DMS) Ltd and Others v Coutinho: CA 20 May 2009

The claimant had succeeded in a claim for discrimination and registered it for enforcement, but it had still not been paid.
Held: Although the Employment Tribunal had no role in enforing its own decisions, the claimant could return to the Employment Tribunal and cite the failure to satisfy the first claim as a possible basis for an allegation of post employment discrimination and victimisation. An examination of the facts, including an assessment of why the claim had not been satisfied, might well establish post employment victimisation even five years after the employment had finished.
