Law Society official 'dismissed Asians as reliable little workers'

By Robert Verkaik, Legal Affairs Correspondent
31 March 2005 The Law Society is facing a £1m claim for sex and race discrimination that threatens to plunge the solicitors' governing body into a bitter internal war.
Simrit Parmar, a policy adviser employed by the Law Society, accuses senior management of prolonged bullying and belittling behaviour towards Asian female staff. Ms Parmar, 37, also alleges that she was encouraged to bring a complaint against Kamlesh Bahl, the society's Asian vice-president forced from office after allegations of bullying in 2000. That case cost the Law Society of England and Wales an estimated £2.5m and lasted four and a half years.
In her claim document, Ms Parmar accuses Law Society management of having a "racist stereotypical view" of staff. She says that during the Bahl affair the Law Society developed a "pattern" of encouraging Asian staff to bring complaints against the then vice-president.
She alleges: "It is safer and more effective for it to encourage Asian staff members to falsely complain against their own race, because that complaint is less likely to be perceived as racist and to reveal the underlying hostility of certain white managers."
She also accuses her bosses of encouraging co-workers to make complaints against her. After an internal inquiry found the complaints to be unproven, she claims she was "segregated" from the three members of staff who brought them.
The Law Society has hired the top employment law barrister Nicholas Underhill QC to defend the claim, which opens at an employment tribunal in central London on Monday. Mr Underhill acted for the City bank Merrill Lynch when it was sued for a record £7m by Stephanie Villalba. Ms Villalba lost her equal pay claim but won her action for unfair dismissal.
Ms Parmar is being represented by Lawrence Davies, a consultant solicitor with the London-based firm Imran Khan and Partners.
In her action, Ms Parmar says that one senior member of staff described Ms Bahl to her as a "typical Brahmin Übermeister" - a high-caste overlord. Ms Parmar said she felt "sickened" by this comment, which she alleges was an "act of direct race discrimination".
She said that at a party in 2001, the same manager, who had since left the Society, said Asians were "reliable little workers, and I was lucky I was not African-Caribbean because everyone knew they were lazy and had attitude problems".
Ms Parmar says that when she brought complaints against members of staff, her managers trivialised them and suggested she had mental health problems.
Ms Parmar, an adviser on alternative dispute resolution in family law, is seeking an estimated £1m in punitive damages. She claims that over her five years at the Law Society she was racially and sexually discriminated against, ostracised by co-workers, run down by managers and denied proper support.
She also alleges that when her father was terminally ill she was refused compassionate leave. When she did take time off to care for him in the days before he died, she was called to a disciplinary meeting where, she alleges, she was "bullied and harassed ... for my absence".
Yesterday a Law Society spokeswoman said: "An employee of the Law Society, Simret Parmar, has made claims alleging disability, race and sex discrimination. The Society denies these claims and will be defending them at the employment tribunal."

Racist ass drippings are to be found in every country. Sometimes their bigotry is glaring and sometimes its not. As to what to do about the guy? Execution might be a bit overboard, but what the hell - EXECUTION!

Yeah, hahaha! It shows colonialism isn't dead yet, at least in some minds.

The former leader of the Christian Heritage Party (CHP), Graham Capill, has admitted sexually assaulting a young girl.

Capill's name suppression was lifted this morning at a hearing at the Christchurch District Court.

Capill pleaded guilty to indecently assaulting a girl under 12. The charge relates to three or four incidents that happened in 2001-2002.

The victim's name is automatically suppressed.

Graham Capill stood down from the CHP leadership in 2003. He has a law degree and has most recently been working for the police as a Prosecutor at the Christchurch District Court.

Capill was remanded until next month when he will be sentenced. Judge Edward Ryan made the observation that the offending was "not at the serious end of the scale".

I'm glad that this religious nutjob got punched in the face twice outside the court.Groping 8 year olds in their beds is one of the most heinous crimes imaginable.For someone who calls himself Reverend, and ran a extremist right wing political party, it's richly deserved.

Agreed; racial ignornance and buffoonery abound in all countries. Child molesters should be treated harshly (and punched twice in the face also)

"Parmar" is an Indian name, isn't it? Why is Ms. Parmar suing for slurs against Asians? Doesn't make sense.

I can however see why she's upset for the company not letting her off when her dad was dying. But what was company policy? There was no mention of her work record prior to this incident in the article. Perhaps she's been a troublemaker all along, or had used all her leave.

[RSX-S777]

She was apparently so sickened she waited five years to bring a suit.

[fredjacksonsan]

Probably took her that long to think of the plan.....
