"This is the unanimous decision of the EAT in respect of the appeals by Mr Bernard Crofton former Director of Housing of the London Borough of Hackeny against findings made against him by the Industrial Employment Tribunal at London North in four applications sought against him by Mr Samuel Yeboah, former head of personnel services at Hackney."
"This is a substantial case in which the EAT allowed the appeals against a finding of racial discrimination and ordered re-hearing by a different tribunal. I am not prepared to say at this stage that the proposed appeal has no real prospects of success. I direct a preliminary inter partes hearing in order to examine the possibility of restricting the scope of the appeals, if showed to have a real prospect of success."
