Sunderalingam v. Anchor Trust [2001] UKEAT 869_00_2102 (21 February 2001)

The appeal was dismissed because the appellant failed to establish any error of law or procedural unfairness by the Employment Tribunal. The Tribunal's management of witnesses and evidence did not amount to bias or procedural impropriety, and the appellant did not demonstrate that any detriment suffered was causally linked to a protected act under the Race Relations Act 1976.
