Overview
- An employment tribunal in London that issued its ruling Monday upheld three racial harassment claims against former Crawley Town manager John Yems.
- Crawley Town was found vicariously liable for Yems’ conduct because it occurred in the course of his employment at the club.
- The panel dismissed all claims against Queens Park Rangers and threw out other harassment counts and the direct race and religion discrimination claims against Yems.
- One upheld incident involved Yems calling Amrit Bansal‑McNulty a “curry muncher” and asking about a “curry pizza,” which the tribunal said was harassment rather than banter.
- The case now moves to a remedy hearing limited to Yems and Crawley, and Bansal‑McNulty seeks about £12 million, saying the abuse caused psychiatric harm and ended his career.
