FORMER MAZARS corporate finance director Paramjit Aurora is claiming unfair dismissal on the grounds of racial and religious discrimination.
Mr Aurora, a British national of Indian heritage and a Sikh, joined the firm's London office in mid-2007, was promoted in 2008 and subsequently made redundant in 2009.

A spokesman for the firm said: "Mazars can confirm it is defending a claim being brought by a former employee. Mr Paramjit Aurora was dismissed by reason of redundancy from the Corporate Finance team during the global financial recession in 2009. The dismissal was fair and Mazars strongly denies that it was for any reason connected with race or religion as claimed by Mr Aurora."
The case is ongoing at the East London Employment Tribunal, and the hearing is expected to conclude next week.

Good luck taking them on. As a former employee, Im sure they will throw a lot of money to defend themselves and their reputation and image. These things tend to won by those who throw most money at it. [Comment moderated]

Disgruntled former employee?
Hmmm. I'm not sure that money can buy a tribunal outcome. What a naive comment from Robert the former employee.

Kermit
This forum is supposed to be for professionals not for personal abuse from Kermit
Im not going to lower myself to Kermit's level of unprofessionalism
Sad
Perhaps the only way to prevent such silly school boy comments from Kermit would be to bar him
I am entitled to sympathise over an employee who must be going through a lot in taking his former employer to court.

So in blind ignorance of the facts...
Robert assumes the allegation has merit?

anthony
robert doesnt know if the allegation has merit.
robert is not a disgruntled former employee
roberts notes the childish behaviours of both anthony and kermit and suspects they are working on the mazars side
