2011/38 No power for tribunal to apportion liability for unlawful discrimination (UK)
The Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) held that an Employment Tribunal had no power to apportion liability for damages between respondents where several respondents were found guilty of the same act of race discrimination. Where more than one party is found guilty of discrimination and the damage is ‘indivisible’, liability should be ‘joint and several’ as a matter of law - that is, the claimant is entitled to recover the entirety of his or her loss from any of the respondents.
