EAT VICTIMISATION DISCRIMINATION
RACE DISCRIMINATION: Inferring discrimination
The Claimant was a police officer whose application for promotion failed. He claimed that the decisions of the relevant panels were motivated by direct racial discrimination and/or by the fact that he had previously brought successful discrimination proceedings against the Force (i.e. victimisation). The Tribunal dismissed the former claim but allowed the latter. Held that the facts relied on by the Tribunal in support of an inference of discrimination contained a serious factual mistake and the remaining matters were incapable of supporting the inference.
