Copple and Others v Littlewoods Plc and Others: CA 8 Nov 2011

Elias LJ said: ‘This appeal raises a short point of some importance relating to the rights which certain female part-time workers can assert once they are able to establish that their employer’s pension scheme indirectly discriminated against part-timers on grounds of sex by denying them access to the employer’s occupational pension scheme. The critical feature of these part-time workers is that they would not in fact have chosen to join the pension scheme even if they had been eligible to do so.’
