Conduct at tribunal increased injury

Taking into account the way the respondents conducted their case at the tribunal hearing, a Sheffield employment tribunal (Chair: D R Snaith) in Hussain v (1) Wright, (2) Walters and (3) Jasmoor Rent A Car Ltd increases its award of compensation for injury to feelings against the employer from £7,000 to £11,000, following its finding that the applicant was not shortlisted for a job interview on racial grounds.

Mr Hussain was one of 21 applicants for a position in the third respondent's customer services team.
