Vernon v London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham ET/2200455/10 & ET/2205480/10

race discrimination | victimisation | Acas conciliation | without prejudice

The employment tribunal in this case took the unusual decision that the employer victimised the claimant when it allowed an Acas conciliation officer to forward her an email questioning her abilities and suggesting that she would never be promoted because of weaknesses in her literacy skills.
