Fees often stop people from pursuing discrimination cases.
The Observer A black van driver unfairly disciplined at work has become one of the first people to benefit from the formation of a new racial discrimination legal advice unit. Kofi Asiedu was physically assaulted by his line manager at Euro Car Parts in Bellingham, south-east London, in August last year following an argument over a delivery. Mr Asiedu said at tribunal that his manager had called him a 'black prat' during the assault. The manager was given a verbal warning over the incident after making a full apology for the assault. But when Mr Asiedu complained about the attack, he was issued a final written warning which dragged up 10 minor disciplinary offences occurring over several years.
