Mr Mamedu was from Nigeria and had trained as a barrister and solicitor. He was offered work at the end of July 2006 as a locum solicitor by Hatten Wyatt. He accepted the offer but prior to starting work the employer withdrew the offer and employed another candidate...

   Emma, I don't have all the facts, I was simply trying to defend the employers right to change his mind without being hit with a race claim! In the case mentioned, The offer was made; so where comes race?
