EAT EQUAL PAY ACT – Equal value
JURISDICTIONAL POINTS – 2002 Act and pre-action requirements
Equal Pay. Statutory grievance procedure (standard procedure). Where comparators in ET1 were materially different from comparators specified in earlier grievances and Employment Tribunal had not carried out a qualitative exercise to assess correlation of complaints, it had erred in law in holding that the requirements of section 32 of the Employment Act 2002 had been satisfied: Cannop and others v Highland Council sub nom Highland Council v TGWU and others [2008] IRLR 634. Comparators having been specified in the Claimants’ grievances, the fact that grievances and subsequent complaints to the Employment Tribunal both involved equal pay claims was not sufficient.
