Dear Mr Bryson
Thank you for your letter of 12 November
1998. I do apologise for the delay in replying
which is due to pressure of work.
The Commission for Racial Equality provides
assistance to individuals making complaints
of racial discrimination under the Race
Relations Act 1976. The Act covers discrimination
in areas such as employment, education,
housing and the delivery of goods, facilities
and services. Complaints of racial discrimination
in employment have to be submitted to an
Employment Tribunal within 3 months, less
one day, of the act of discrimination and
in non employment cases within 6 months,
less one day, of the act of discrimination
to the Central London County court.
I have read the correspondence you have
provided, and it would appear that the matters
you have raised are either outside the scope
of the Act or outside the time limit in
which to bring proceedings. Please note
that legal aid is available to pursue cases
of racial discrimination in County Court
matters. Your local Citizens Advice Bureau
will be able to provide you with a list
of legal aid solicitors in your area, and
may be able to offer advice on other legal
matters. If you require the return of your
documents, please let me know.
May I take this opportunity to thank you
for bringing the matter to our attention.
Yours Sincerely
Patrick Robinson
Head of Litigation
London & South Region
