A former Armani manager has been awarded £18,000 after a tribunal ruled he was forced out of his job for being HIV positive. [He] ran the Emporio Armani restaurant [part of Giorgio Armani] in London. In April 2005 staff were told they would be made redundant when the store closed for refurbishment. Shortly after this [he], who was diagnosed with HIV in 1993, revealed his condition to bosses. His employers found alternative work for all his colleagues but not for [him]. Following this he brought an Employment Tribunal claim against Orthet, which retails and distributes Armani group products in the UK.
