Fraser v University of Leicester & Ors

Fraser v University of Leicester & Ors

The Employment Tribunal did not err in its cumulative consideration of the allegations or in its application of the two-stage test for race discrimination. There was no evidence to support an inference of less favourable treatment on grounds of race, nor any actionable victimisation. The findings of fact were thorough and not susceptible to challenge.
