Race discrimination award

A worker has been awarded £64,000 in compensation after a tribunal ruled that he had been discriminated against on the grounds of race. He claimed he suffered months of racial abuse from colleagues while at the firm. Eventually, his treatment led to a deterioration of his physical and mental health, forcing him to leave his job. He was awarded £15,000 for the injury he sustained to his feelings, including £10,000 for psychological damage, £18,496 for loss of earnings and £28,356 plus interest for future loss of earnings.
