EAT PART TIME WORKERS
The Employment Tribunal correctly approached the question whether the Claimant was treated by the Respondent less favourably than it treated a full-time comparator as regards a term of the contract concerned with pattern of availability for work (regulation 5(1)(a) of the Part-time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000).
The Employment Tribunal erred in law by holding, in effect, that statistical evidence produced by the parties was irrelevant to the question of justification (regulation 5(2)(b)).
