Brit NRI lawyer counter-accused of racism
|
|
London, Nov 07: An NRI lawyer claiming 33 million
pounds for race discrimination from her chambers in the UK has
been accused of calling some a "Nazi whore", a tribunal heard.
Dr Aisha Bijlani, a junior barrister, claims clerks at
the law firm 'Four New Square' were racist, failed to give her
work and did not collect her fees.
She claims the terms "paki" and "wog" were used
"liberally" at the chambers and that one of the clerks had
affairs with two of the senior members of the firm.
One of those men, part-time judge Roger Steward, QC,
has defended his chambers from accusations of racism and
claimed Dr Bijlani had made offensive comments herself.
During a cross-examination by Dr Bijlani's counsel,
Althea Brown, Stewart said: "I am now aware of emails which
your client has sent which contain deeply offensive and racist
sentiment.
"Your client described someone as a German Nazi whore
spreading Aids across Europe".
"I do not believe that, despite the fact that she said
that, she is a racist".
Stewart was accused of being a "bully" and failing to
accept that three allegedly racist clerks had had a
"devastating impact on Dr Bijlani's career".
