The Court of Appeal recently upheld the decisions that Mrs Parmar suffered direct race discrimination when she was subject to a disciplinary investigation and transferred from her role as Head of Service at Leicester City Council.

In Leicester City Council v Parmar, the Court of Appeal upheld finding of direct race discrimination, an employee was subjected to less favourable disciplinary treatment than two white colleagues and subject to disciplinary proceedings.

In this case, the Court of Appeal held that Ruth Lake had directly discriminated against an employee because of her race when she temporarily transferred her from her role and began a baseless disciplinary investigation against her.

Mrs Parmar claimed that two white Heads of Service, AE and HM, had been implicated in conduct that was inappropriate but had not been subjected to such harsh treatment. Based on (DSAR), since 2017, no white senior managers had been disciplined.

@ShivaniRaja_LE Leicester City Council can waste tax payers money fighting a race discrimination case and lose. This is another example of their institutional racism
The key message for Leicester City Council is consistency in treatment regardless of race, sex, or origin, and ensuring transparency and due process when conducting investigations and disciplinary action.

@ShivaniRaja_LE Thanks Shivani.
For people interested in understanding my case, this link will provide a legal explanation of what Leicester City Council did and what they should have done which was admit their fault after the first hearing and make the changes required in the council.
