Banker accuses HSBC of sex bias over homosexuality
Justin Patten of the Human Law blog writes about the London case of a former banker at HSBC who is seeking a multimillion-dollar award in a sex bias claim involving homosexuality. The Telegraph reports:
"A homosexual City banker dismissed for alleged improper behaviour in front of a male colleague accused HSBC yesterday of sacking him because of his sexuality.
"Peter Lewis, 45, who denies the allegations, is seeking £5 million compensation from the bank on the grounds that it would never have taken the accusations seriously had he not been gay.
"... Human resources summoned him to an urgent meeting less than a week later where he was accused of "behaving inappropriately" in the changing room.
He was suspended a few days later and dismissed on Dec 9 after a disciplinary investigation. He later lost an appeal. "
Patten has "some brief observations" about this case and others. Read on.
