A British woman has to pay her husband $180,000 after he sued her for racial discrimination, alleging she viewed Australians as an “inferior race”. 🙄
Duncan Bendall, a businessman who grew up in Sydney, took his wife Fiona and the company they set up together to the London Employment Tribunal after the couple separated,Mr and Mrs Bendall founded The Female Social Network in 2016 while they were living in Sydney. Their marriage began to break down after they returned to London last year, until Mr Bendall was eventually sacked in August for “gross misconduct”.
“Fiona told them that I would be compliant as long as the investment comes in,” Mr Bendall told the tribunal, according to. “I believe the optics were not as good as introducing a male founder to prospective investors, especially one as a plain-talking Australian, compared to an English woman.” In August he learned his bags had been packed and he was being kicked out of the London home they shared, which was also the company’s office. “It is clear that we are done ... Your belongings will be packed ... Ed and Praveen will meet with you to discuss TFSN and the way forwards,” Mrs Bendall texted her husband.
