The Romanian was told 'foreigners could not lead a team of Brits' before being made redundant.
A Romanian joiner who was told by his boss a foreigner could not lead British workers has been allowed to appeal against his employment tribunal loss.
The employment tribunal, which sat in Leeds and was presided over by Judge Philip Lancaster, found it proven that one of Mr Ion's managers told him: "We could not have a foreigner leading a team of Brits." At the appeal hearing in London on Wednesday, Andrew Edge representing Mr Ion, said the manager who made the "overtly racist" comment was also the one who selected the Romanian joiner for dismissal after superiors asked him to choose who should go.
He said the judge's failure to consider the comment in his conclusion was a "howling omission and an error of law".She said the "overtly discriminatory comment" was a "glaring piece of evidence" that could imply the manager had "discriminatory views on the basis of nationality" and it was apparent he was "one of the people who participates in the decision to select the claimant for redundancy".
