EAT RACE DISCRIMINATION: Direct
The Employment Tribunal erred in treating the motive of the Respondent as ‘the nub of the issue’ in a claim of direct race discrimination. It further erred in considering the fact that all non-British nationals would have been treated in the same way as the appellant to be relevant to such a claim. The claim of direct discrimination was remitted to a different Employment Tribunal. The Tribunal had made a finding of indirect discrimination which was not appealed by the Respondents. Jaffrey v Department of Environment Transport and Regions [2002] IRLR 688 considered.
