The claimant appealed against dismissal of her claim for equal pay. The tribunal had said that she had failed to provide evidence from an independent expert that her work was of equal value to that of a comparator.
Held: On the facts, the appeal failed, though the tribunal had been wrong to say that such a report was necessary. There had been differences in the tasks of the comparator, and the claimant needed to provide a proper explanation. The fact that the jobs had been found to be of nearly equal value in an evaluation was not enough.
