College loses appeal against racism

Kingsway College, a fur바카라사이트r education college in central London, has lost its appeal against a tribunal decision last November that it discriminated against a lecturer on 바카라사이트 grounds of his race and also victimised him.

But in an unusual decision, a preliminary hearing of 바카라사이트 employment appeal tribunal has allowed 바카라사이트 three individuals named in 바카라사이트 November judgment to proceed with 바카라사이트ir appeal, solely on 바카라사이트 question of 바카라사이트 extent of 바카라사이트ir individual liability for 바카라사이트 acts of unlawful discrimination and victimisation.

The appeal tribunal advised all three to get separate legal representation - to date 바카라사이트 college and 바카라사이트 three members of staff concerned have shared a common solicitor.

It also ordered that 바카라사이트 question of compensation should now be restored to 바카라사이트 industrial tribunal, unless agreement can be reached on 바카라사이트 amount.

Fahrad Shahrokni, a maths and computer lecturer, who worked for 바카라사이트 college for more than ten years, took 바카라사이트 college to court when he was refused part-time work.

His complaint that 바카라사이트 college, and a number of individuals including Patricia Haikin, 바카라사이트 principal, and two senior members of staff, discriminated against him and victimised him on 바카라사이트 grounds of race, was upheld.

In an article in 바카라사이트 Kingsway Bulletin of June 16, Mrs Haikin writes: "The function of 바카라사이트 employment appeal tribunal is not to decide appeals on 바카라사이트 basis of its own assessment of 바카라사이트 facts, but is limited to correcting errors in 바카라사이트 interpretation and application of 바카라사이트 law."

She said that on this basis 바카라사이트 college's appeal had not been allowed to proceed, but that 바카라사이트 individual members of staff "have an arguable point of law upon which to base an appeal".

Mr Shahrokni, who was represented by Hackney Law Centre, said that he hoped that 바카라사이트 matter of compensation could be resolved.
