Ministry of Justice v Burton and Another: CA 12 Jul 2016

This appeal raises a short point. It arises out of the long running litigation about whether, and to what extent, part-time fee-paid judges have been treated less favourably than full-time salaried judges contrary to the Part-time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000.
Held: The Ministry’s appeal failed. The appellant had not established any perversity in the ET’s judgment to the high level required on such an appeal.
