Grewal v. Northamptonshire County Council [2000] EAT 305_99_1502 (15 February 2000)

The Tribunal was entitled to consider only the claim for victimisation under section 2 of the Race Relations Act 1976, as that was the only claim advanced by the Appellant. The Tribunal properly considered whether there was any evidence of a protected act or direct discrimination and found none. The appeal is dismissed as there was no error in law or approach by the Tribunal.
