New Southern Railway Ltd v Quinn: EAT 28 Nov 2005

The claimant said that she had been discriminated against on the ground of her pregnancy having been suspended from her post as duty manager, the company saying that the job involved a risk to her health. The tribunal found that her managers had not conducted a proper assessment, but had assumed a patronising and dismissive view of her condition. However, her claim had failed as a pregnancy related claim, but succeeded as a simple sex discrimination claim, and that she should succeed in her claim of unfair constructive dismissal.
