EAT RACE DISCRIMINATION – Other losses
UNFAIR DISMISSAL – Compensation
PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE – Costs
Other losses
The Claimant’s appeal against the assessment of future loss rejected.
Compensation
The Employment Tribunal had not explained why it rejected the claim for exemplary damages in a case in which the facts could (possibly) have merited it, and had appeared to think such an award was compensatory rather than punitive.
Costs
An argument that having found the case a suitable one for the award of aggravated damages, a costs order in the Claimant’s favour should follow, was rejected. The ET had a discretion whether to order costs or not and had not misdirected itself.
