The former Top Gear producer who was punched and verbally abused by Jeremy Clarkson is suing the presenter and the BBC for racial discrimination.
Oisin Tymon was attacked in a row over food at a hotel in March which resulted in Clarkson's contract at the corporation not being renewed.
The senior producer attended a hearing at a London employment tribunal on Friday with lawyers for the BBC and Clarkson.
The law firm Slater And Gordon confirmed it is representing Mr Tymon.
Clarkson reportedly called his colleague a "lazy, Irish c***" during the confrontation.

what a pansy.
Add “crybaby” to that list.
I enjoy the show, but know from firsthand experience that Clarkson is an insufferable pompous ass.
oh, completely. I’m a Capt Slow girl. :)
Max amount he can get is 119,000 pounds in Britain. Not that much but after seeing the millions Jeremy Clarkson is getting with his new show I understand his anger.
Jeremy should pay the amount asked for,
But that’s one of the things that made the show great.
Well Clarkson say he Irish so I would guess his fourth or fifth pint.
I have a feeling Top Gear will suck without the trio.
OMG, look what he did to his face!
It gets old real fast in person. Reminds me of a slightly more talented John Effin’ Kerry.
Probably.
He’s an alpha male type. The beit equivalent to a fratboy. He knows he’s popular and has talent so his ego follows... Or leads.
I wouldn’t mind engaging him but he’s the sort you’ll keep at arms length.
Anybody that’s punched Piers Morgan gets my stamp of approval. I think we should retain Clarkson to serve as ambassador to Iran.
So, just because Clarkson has money, he should just give it to a silly, lazy Irish c***?
Racism?
And since when are the Irish a "race", other than caucasian?
Yeah, just give him the money.
It's the librul thing to do.
As much a whinger as the crybaby college students.
He did hit him. He owes him money. If this Irishman pressed charges then Jeremy would be in jail for assault.
He should give him the money (he can afford it) and release a statement saying simply “It was worth every cent” (or shilling, whatever the brits are calling their money these days)
Bs, the idiot failed to do his job.
Not many actors of his stature that aren’t asses.
