In HM Prison Service v Ibimidun the EAT has held that a claimant who was dismissed for bringing proceedings under the Race Relations Act 1976 was not subjected to victimisation because his dismissal resulted from the manner in which he brought proceedings, rather than the fact of those proceedings. In the circumstances, the claimant’s dismissal for bringing proceedings simply to harass his employer, rather than to receive just compensation, was not an act deserving of protection under the victimisation provisions.
