In the case of Da'Bell v. NSPCC the Employment Appeal Tribunal held that awards for damages to injury to feelings in discrimination cases should be increased to reflect inflation as follows:

• Lower band (for less serious cases such as a one-off incident or isolated event): £500 - £5,000 to increase to £600 -£6,000;
• Middle band (for serious cases that do not merit an award in the highest band: £5,000 - £15,000 to increase to £6,000 -£18,000; and
• Upper band (for the most serious cases, such as where there has been a lengthy campaign of harassment): £15,000 - £25,000 to increase to £18,000 - £30,000.
