Summary Information : Deman v Coates - tribunal erred in finding race discrimination but not allowing any remedy - new on EAT website 14.6.06Mr Deman failed in an application for an academic post at the European School of Economics (ESE). He subsequently brought and won claims of race discrimination against ESE and Dr S Coates, their London Academic Director. At a remedies hearing the tribunal ordered ESE to pay £35,667 compensation but dismissed any claim for compensation to be paid by Dr Coates. This was on the basis that, because of illness, she had not had the opportunity to argue her case before the Tribunal. The EAT held that this was an error of law. It remitted the matter back for rehearing saying that this was ".... the first time in our experience individually, or collectively, that we have come across a case where an Employment Tribunal has found that the Claimant has succeeded on liability but .... has then gone on to dismiss the claim when it reached the remedies hearing".
