In Eddie Stobart Ltd v Graham, the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) reduced the compensation awarded by the Employment Tribunal to a successful claimant, concluding that an award of £10,000 for injury to feelings was “manifestly excessive and therefore perverse” given the limited impact of the employer’s actions.
In the much anticipated judgment in Higgs v Farmor’s School, the Court of Appeal has found that the claimant was subjected to unlawful discrimination for expressing controversial beliefs on social media.
