Description

Amanda Smith, a White British florist, lost her racial discrimination case against her Muslim coworker, Sadie Shefedun, and their employer, Van Arthur Flower Group. Smith accused Shefedun of racial harassment due to her reaction to Smith eating a ham sandwich, but the Watford Employment Tribunal found no evidence of harassment or bias. The tribunal ruled that Shefeduns reaction was due to her dietary restrictions, not Smiths race. The case underscores the importance of facts in workplace disputes.
