The Court of Appeal upheld the High Court's decision affirming the Labour Court's determination that a software engineer's dismissal was not racially discriminatory. The appellant's claims of victimisation, discrimination in remuneration, and failure to promote were dismissed due to lack of evidence linking the alleged procedural deficiencies to his race. The court found no error of law in the High Court's judgment and dismissed all grounds of appeal, including the appellant's request to refer questions to the CJEU.
