EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE: Costs
EQUAL PAY ACT: Equal value
Equal Pay claims. Local Authority employee Claimants. Section 1(6) of Equal Pay Act 1970. Article 141 EC. Circumstances in which EAT, upholding cross appeal, found that Employment Tribunal had erred in failing to hold that Claimants (APTandC employees) and their comparators (Manual Workers) were employed at the same establishment. Otherwise, employers’ appeal dismissed, EAT holding that ET was correct to hold that Claimants and their comparators were employed on common terms and conditions, namely the ‘Red Book’ notwithstanding that job evaluation studies not completed and, accordingly, employees not yet on new pay and grading arrangements provided for in the Red Book. Dumfries and Galloway v North and ors revisited and views revised.
