EAT RACE DISCRIMINATION – Vicarious liability
The Employment Tribunal failed to ask itself the correct questions in deciding whether Redbridge acted as agent of Remploy, whether on the basis of implied prior authority or ratification subsequent to the act complained of.
Thus, the ET failed properly to address all the issues it was required to address in order properly to answer the question whether Remploy was jointly liable pursuant to s 32(2) of the Race Relations Act for Redbridge’s discriminatory acts.
