Right to bring civil equal pay claims upheld on appeal
Practice Area: Equal Treatment
Sector: Business services
Jurisdiction: England & Wales
Published: 09 December 2011
Law Firm: Wragge & Co
Overview
The Court of Appeal has stated categorically that claimants in breach of contract equal pay claims can choose between bringing their claims in the civil courts and the more typical jurisdiction of the Employment Tribunals. In Birmingham City Council v Abdulla, the Court of Appeal also considerably reduced the scope of getting civil court claims struck out on jurisdictional grounds.
In this briefing, Wragge & Co's employment team examine the judgment and the potential ramifications in more detail.
