  Aziz v Trinity Street Taxis Ltd and others [1986] IRLR 435 EAT (1 report relating to this case)

  • Victimisation protection narrowly construed

    Date:

    1 November 1986

    In Aziz v Trinity Street Taxis Ltd and others (20.5.86) EOR10A, the EAT holds that in order to determine whether an employee has been victimised by reason of an activity protected by the statute, that the activity took place in a protected context must be ignored; the correct question is whether another person who acted in a similar way outside the context of a protected activity would be treated similarly.

  Aziz v Trinity Street Taxis Ltd and others [1988] IRLR 204 CA (2 reports relating to this case)

  • Discrimination: Victimisation provisions interpreted narrowly

    Date:

    5 May 1988

    Past case law has made it difficult for complainants to establish victimisation because tribunals have compared the treatment of a person who has done an act protected by s.2 to that of a person who has done a similar but unprotected act. But in Aziz v Trinity Street Taxis Ltd and others the Court of Appeal holds that the correct comparison is between those who have done a protected act and those who have not.

  • 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.

  Balamoody v United Kingdom Central Council for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting [2002] IRLR 288 CA (2 reports relating to this case)

  • Race discrimination: When to construct hypothetical comparator

    Date:

    15 June 2002

    In Balamoody v United Kingdom Central Council for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting the Court of Appeal holds that an employment tribunal should have constructed a hypothetical comparator against which to consider whether there was evidence to support an inference that the complainant's treatment had been tainted with race discrimination. And the EAT holds in Williams v H M Prison Service that there is no additional duty on a tribunal to construct and consider the position of a hypothetical comparator.

  • Hypothetical comparator required

    Date:

    1 April 2002

    In Balamoody v United Kingdom Central Council for Nursing, Midwifery and Health (6 December 2001), the Court of Appeal rules that where there is no actual comparator for a discrimination complainant to compare their treatment with, the tribunal must construct a hypothetical comparator.
