indirect discrimination

Edwards v Swindon Borough Council UKEAT/0095/10/LA
Appeal against ruling that the claimant was not directly or indirectly discriminated against by reason of her race. On the claim of direct discrimination, the ET accepted the respondent's non-discriminatory explanation of why the claimant was not offered a job. As far as the indirect discrimination claim is concerned, the claimant failed to establish provision, criterion or practice in the respondent’s organisation which puts a person of the claimant’s race or ethnicity at a disadvantage. The EAT, although stating that the Employment Tribunal's reasons were not a model to be followed, ruled that the judgment was Meek compliant. The EAT also agreed with the ET on both claims and dismissed the appeal.
