EAT SEX DISCRIMINATION: Justification / Burden of proof
Employment Tribunal found direct sex discrimination and that the employer was unable to justify it. The EAT held reasoning of Tribunal inadequate and failed to properly apply the burden of proof. The Employment Tribunal also made an order for costs when there was no basis to do so. Appeal allowed and case remitted to a fresh Tribunal. Costs order vacated.
