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.

Nazir & Anor v Asim & Anor UKEAT/0332/09/RN
Appeal against findings of sexual and racial harassment and discrimination. The claims were brought against 2 members of a board, which was an unincorporated organisation: the Tribunal ruled that it had jurisdiction to hear the claims against the 2 board members in their capacity as representatives of the UA and not as individual perpetrators. 4 of the claims succeeded. The jurisdiction appeal was dismissed. The EATconfirmed that the board members were liable as 'employer' and not through vicarious or secondary liability. Claims of racial and sexual harassment and discrimination were remitted to a fresh Tribunal.
