Clackson "harshly mocked" Adeagbo's manner of speech and accented English, the complaint reads.
Here is a passage from Clackson's decision:
"His ability to articulate his thoughts in an understandable fashion was severely compromised by: his garbled enunciation; his failure to use appropriate endings for plurals and past tenses; his failure to use the appropriate definite and indefinite articles; his repeated emphasis of the wrong syllables; dropping his Hs; mispronouncing his vowels; and the speed of his responses."
