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.
