Injury to feelings
MATERNITY RIGHTS AND PARENTAL LEAVE – Sex discrimination
The ET was entitled to find that the burden of proof passed to the Respondent to explain his treatment when he made gender-related comments about the Claimant’s pregnancy, and subjected her to discipline on her return to work. It correctly rejected the explanations. It did not err in placing injury to feelings in the middle of the middle Vento Da’bell band.
