The former Top Gear producer who was punched and verbally abused by Jeremy Clarkson is suing him for racial discrimination.
Oisin Tymon was attacked in a row over food at a hotel in March which resulted in Clarkson losing his job.
He drove himself to hospital after the incident and told police at the time he didn't want to press charges.
Today Mr Tymon attended a hearing at a London employment tribunal along with lawyers for both Clarkson and the BBC.
His representative says the case relates to alleged "Irish insults".
