In tort, where indivisible damage is done by two parties, each will be 'jointly and severally liable'for the losses suffered by the claimant, who can recover the full damages from either or both. In London Borough of Hackney v Sivanandan the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) finds that tribunals do not have discretion in deciding whether or not to apportion damages in discrimination cases - for example making the employer liable for the lion's share on grounds that it has the deeper pockets - and must make joint and several awards except where the injury caused by a discriminatory act is clearly divisible.
