The outcome of my discrimination dispute
Some of you may recall that I had to make a decision about whether or not to stand up to an individual who I felt had unfairly discriminated against me. My decision was to seek compensation from the individual because I felt I'd never forgive myself if I let her get away with it.
After a long mediation process it was decided that the individual would give me a written letter of apology and a contribution toward the expenses that I'd incurred as a result of her actions.
I didn't get the maximum financial sum I had sought but the settlement was enough to make her think hard about what she has done. Since it was always the principle rather than the money that was important, I am very satisfied with the outcome.
Persuing this was the right course of action for me. Whether or not the indivual has learnt from this experience remains a mystery. Let's hope that she has.

I don't know the full circumstances of this, so I won't so 'yay, go you!' or write something snyde.
Personally, I think discrimination against people of different races, genders or sexualities is disgusting and totally unacceptable - however, I do HATE the way the UK is becoming a litigation culture like the United States.
