Victimisation turns on motive of alleged discriminator

This report relates to 1 case(s)

  Aziz v Trinity Street Taxis Ltd and others [1988] IRLR 204 CA (1 other report)

  • 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.
