Deane v London Borough of Ealing and another [1993] IRLR 209 EAT (1 other report)
An industrial tribunal has no power to award exemplary damages in a discrimination case, holds the EAT in Deane v London Borough of Ealing and another, following the ruling of the Court of Appeal in Gibbons and others v South West Water Services Ltd [1993] 1 All ER 609. In Deane , a white employee's appointment to a senior post was vetoed because higher management wanted an Asian in that position.
