  • Victimisation turns on motive of alleged discriminator

    Date:

    1 May 1988

    In Aziz v Trinity Street Taxis Ltd and others (26.2.88) EOR19B, the Court of Appeal rules that in order to show unlawful victimisation under the Race Relations Act 1976 (RRA), the complainant must establish a causal link showing that the fact that the act protected under s.2 was done under or by reference to the RRA consciously influenced the alleged discriminator in treating him less favourably.
