	UK, R v Commission for Racial Equality, ex Parte Westminster
		There was material on which the CRE on the information before them could have been satisfied that the Assistant Director of Cleansing, Mr Rolfe, had discriminated by bowing to the pressure of other workmen and by treating the employee in a way in which he would not have done had he been white.
		Later, in 1981, for technical reasons, the Commission instituted a second investigation, but it was agreed that the oral evidence given and the submissions made during the first investigation should be treated as evidence and submissions for the purpose of the second investigation.
		The Commission, however, expressly did not dispute that Mr Rolfe was not and is not a racialist, which I take to mean that his action was not prompted in any degree by a racial prejudice of his own.
