London Borough of Hackney v Sivanandan and others [2011] IRLR 740 EAT (1 other report)
In London Borough of Hackney v Sivanandan and others [2013] IRLR 408 CA, the Court of Appeal upheld the Employment Appeal Tribunal ruling that, where there are multiple respondents and particular loss cannot be attributed to one party, employment tribunals must award compensation on a joint and several liability basis, meaning that the claimant can claim the entire amount from any respondent.
In London Borough of Hackney v Sivanandan and others [2011] IRLR 740 EAT, the EAT held that, where two or more discriminators cause loss to the claimant, their liability for compensation must be "joint and several", unless it can be shown that each individual discriminator has caused a separate and identifiable part of the loss.
