Post Office v Adekeye (No.2) EAT/625/94 (2 other reports)
In The Post Office v Adekeye, the EAT holds that a black woman appealing against her summary dismissal was not "a person employed" within the meaning of s.4(2) of the Race Relations Act 1976 when her appeal was heard, nor was she an applicant for employment covered by s.4(1) of that Act. Thus, an industrial tribunal did not have jurisdiction to consider her complaint that she had been discriminated against on racial grounds at the appeal hearing.
