The Court of Appeal has upheld a High Court ruling in favour of Veera Bhajan, who challenged the refusal of the Equal Opportunity Tribunal (EOT) to recognise her appointment as a lay assessor.
In a ruling on February 26, Justices of Appeal Mira Dean-Armorer, Vasheist Kokaram and Malcolm Holdip affirmed the High Court’s ruling, including an award for damages, but overturned the finding on legitimate expectation.
The judgment’s opening line read, “This was a tale of two powerful ladies in public life.”
