The claimant appealed against the level of damages awarded on his claim for race discrimination on the basis that he had not shown that his hurt feelings were not shown to have been reasonably forseeable.
Held: The tribunal had erred. It was natural and invitable that humiliation and hurt would follow discrimination. The claimant had only to show that his hurt was caused by the discrimination. He did not additionally have to establish that those feelings could have been foreseen by the defendant.
