Graham v London Borough of Barnet EAT/221/99 (1 other report)
While it cannot be assumed that two individuals of the same racial group will not discriminate against each other on racial grounds, the sameness is a factor that an employment tribunal may properly take into account in determining whether or not there has in fact been discrimination on racial grounds, holds the EAT in Graham v London Borough of Barnet 23.5.00 EAT 221/99. The weight to be attached to a similarity of, or difference in, race as between the alleged perpetrator and alleged victim is essentially a matter of fact best left to the tribunal, which hears all the evidence and sees the witnesses.
