Amrit Bansal-McNulty, a half-Indian former professional footballer, partially wins an employment tribunal case against former Crawley Town manager John Yems over allegations of racial harassment. Reports say the tribunal upheld aspects of Bansal-McNulty’s claim that he was subjected to abuse by Yems, including being called a derogatory term related to his ethnicity. Bansal-McNulty, who previously played for QPR and was a Northern Ireland youth international, argues that the treatment caused psychiatric harm and effectively ended his football career. According to the accounts, the tribunal dismissed the claim against QPR, but found Crawley Town vicariously liable for the conduct attributed to Yems. Following the ruling, Bansal-McNulty pursues compensation of around £12 million (reported as approximately $12 million), reflecting alleged career-ending effects and associated injury. The reports characterize the tribunal outcome as a partial win, with compensation claims still proceeding based on the tribunal’s findings.
