An Indian man who accused his manager at a KFC franchise outlet in southeast London of wrongful dismissal and race discrimination has won nearly 67,000 pounds in compensation after a tribunal ruled in his favour.

Madhesh Ravichandran, from Tamil Nadu, told an employment tribunal hearing that his Sri Lankan Tamil boss discriminated against him and used references such as “slave” and “Indians are fraudsters” directed at him.

In details from the hearing published this week, tribunal judge Paul Abbott upheld Ravichandran's claim of wrongful dismissal and race discrimination against Nexus Foods Limited.

“The complaints of direct race discrimination are well-founded and succeed,” reads the judgment.
