Hundal v Initial Security Ltd & anor - Need for British accent [2006] EAT
Mr Hundal appealed to the EAT, mainly against the Reading Employment Tribunal's decision that his race discrimination claim failed. Initial Security, his employer, persuaded the tribunal that having a clear English accent was a requirement for his job.
