A FORMER Spanish embassy employee will take Spain to court tomorrow in a case that will examine the limits of state immunity in discrimination claims involving embassies. 

Lydia Lorenzo’s case was previously successful at the London Central Employment Tribunal and Employment Appeal Tribunal, despite Spain arguing that they have immunity from the claim under the State Immunity Act.

Ms Lorenzo, a British and Spanish dual national, was employed by the embassy in London until 2015. She then brought claims of unfair dismissal and race discrimination.
