Indirect Discrimination and Length of Service Pay Criterion 

In Naeem v The Secretary of State for Justice [2015] the Court of Appeal held that a length-of-service criterion in the pay system of the Prison Service did not indirectly discriminate against a Muslim prison chaplain on the grounds of religion or race.


Employer's English speaking requirement: race discrimination or harassment?  

In Kelly v Covance Laboratories Ltd [2015] the Claimant, who was of Russian national origin, appealed to the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) alleging that her employer discriminated against her and harassed her on the basis of her race, because she was not allowed to speak in Russian whilst at work.
