2015/9 Caste discrimination may be unlawful, but not necessarily (UK)
The employment tribunal decision in Tirkey v Chandhok (reported in EELC 2014/21) has been appealed to the Employment Appeal Tribunal (‘EAT’). The EAT rejected the appeal against the tribunal’s decision to allow the claim for caste discrimination to proceed, agreeing with the tribunal that the definition of ‘race’ in the Equality Act 2010, which includes ‘ethnic origin’, is wide enough to include caste
