Joseph v. Orange Business Holdings UK Ltd (Rev 1) [2008] UKEAT 0382_07_0807 (8 July 2008)

The Employment Tribunal's findings that the dismissal was for redundancy, that there was no direct race discrimination or victimisation, and that the procedural failure rendered the dismissal automatically unfair but with no compensatory award as dismissal was inevitable, were all supported by evidence and not perverse. The appeal raised no arguable point of law and was dismissed.
