Leeds Council must defend itself against an accusation of workplace racial discrimination brought by an employee of its arm’s-length management organisation, the Court of Appeal has found. A hearing last month marked the end of the line for the council’s long-running attempt to assert it should not have to answer the case because the ALMO is a separate entity. The Court of Appeal judgement means that the case can now proceed to a full hearing because the council has indicated that it will not pursue further appeals. The council’s previous appeals were rejected by an Employment Tribunal Hearing in 2008 and the Employment Appeal Tribunal last year. Read the full story on the Inside Housing website.
