Date:

1 March 2000

In Effa v Alexandra Healthcare NHS Trust and another, the Court of Appeal holds that it was not possible to infer from an employment tribunal's findings of primary fact that, by summarily terminating the appointment of a black locum, an NHS trust treated him less favourably than a hypothetical white locum on racial grounds.
