EAT Sex Discrimination: Injury To Feelings – The Employment Tribunal assessed the Claimant’s compensation for injury to feelings for pregnancy discrimination at andpound;12,000.
It appeared that the Employment Tribunal taken into account JSB Guidelines which they had misquoted and the award seemed excessive even by reference to the guidelines as the Employment Tribunal understood them to be.
The award was therefore set aside. The parties agreed that the Employment Appeal Tribunal should re-assess the compensation; the correct figure, in the Employment Appeal Tribunal’s view, was andpound;9,000.
