Code Of Practice On Racial Discrimination In Employment
The Code of Practice on Racial Policy in Employment provides employers with clear guidance on good equal opportunity practice. The UK landmark case of Chagger v Abbey National plc & Hopkins [2006], where the Tribunal made a finding of race discrimination and awarded the record £2.8 million compensation, demonstrates how employers who do not comply with the code can find their apparent lack of commitment to equality counting against them.
Colour Discrimination Employment Law
Does an employee alleging race discrimination on the ground of colour have a case in UK law? The UK landmark case of Chagger v Abbey National plc & Hopkins of 2006, where the finding of race discrimination led to the record compensation of £2.8 million, provides some guidance. To avoid problems, an employee should, if possible, formulate and advance his case on the grounds of race, ethnic or national origins.
Reverse Burden Of Proof In Race Discrimination UK
In race discrimination cases the burden of proof is placed on the employee. If an employee can establish a prima facie case based on factual information suggesting there has been direct or indirect discrimination, then the burden of proof could shift to the employer. Then, unless the employer can disprove the discrimination accusation, the claimant will surely win the case. This concept is known as the "reverse burden of proof".
Inappropriate Redundancy Selection Criteria
Selecting an employee for redundancy on the basis of inappropriate selection criteria can leave the employer exposed to and unable to defend against discrimination claims from the employee. The landmark case of Chagger v Abbey National plc & Hopkins of 2006, where the Tribunal made a finding of race discrimination and awarded the record £2.8 compensation, provides important references for the selection of employees for redundancy.
Workplace discrimination is against the law in the UK.
