U.K.: A one-man bias-suit industry

By Walter Olson, Ted Frank, and David Nieporent

ADVERTISEMENTS

"For a decade [Suresh Deman] sued universities - usually claiming racial bias over failed job applications - as he collected nearly £200,000 in payouts and cost the taxpayer an estimated £1million". After he had brought 40 actions he was declared a vexatious litigant and banned from further proceedings, but the ban did not cover Northern Ireland and he was soon there pursuing an 11-year-old claim against the Association of University Teachers and Officers (AUT). (Chris Brooke, "Race-claims lecturer beats legal ban to carry on suing after 40 discrimination claims", Daily Mail (U.K.), Nov. 19; A Tangled Web, Nov. 19; "In the news: Suresh Deman", Times Higher Education Supplement, Mar. 21, 2003).
