Singh v Glasgow University & Anor (Race Discrimination) [2012] UKEAT 0006_11_1007 (10 July 2012).

The Employment Tribunal was entitled to find the document was not a forgery or intended to deceive. The findings were not perverse and the claimant's arguments amounted to re-arguing facts, which is not permitted on appeal.
