Abbott and Others v Littlewoods Plc: EAT 21 Jul 2009

EAT EQUAL PAY ACT: Part time pensions
PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE: Amendment
The Employment Judge erred in her assessment that the Claimant’s amendment to contend that it was not necessary for her to show that she would have joined the pension scheme when eligible (the opters’ defence), had no reasonable prospect of success. Discrimination claims should be given a full trial absent a clear defence.
