Madarassy v Nomura International Plc: EAT 13 Jul 2004

EAT Sex discrimination: was Employment Tribunal’s approach to the evidence and the drawing of inferences incorrect and such as to cause it to misinterpret and misapply the burden of proof: was there a failure to consider or find a discriminatory state of affairs, and hence a continuing act from the evidence as a whole, even though all but one of the individual complaints of discrimination were rejected by the Tribunal; was the discretion to extend time exercised properly; did the Tribunal treat the question of the hypothetical male correctly, in particular on the pregnancy/maternity leave issues.
