EAT EQUAL PAY ACT: Article 141/European law
EPA and Article 141 claims. The appeal and cross appeals give rise to various EPA issues; whether, like Article 141, section 1(6) requires a single source, that is a single body responsible for the inequality of pay which could restore equal treatment, or whether it is a complete code in itself; whether the Respondent Trust, the Whitley Councils or the Secretary of State are single sources on the facts; whether there were common terms and conditions between establishments under section 1(6) EPA; whether the change of terms and conditions in June 2002 was so radical that the contract was rescinded thereby causing the limitation period to start running. The cross appeals related to the same issues, save for the first ground which raised the question of whether the Employment Tribunal should have considered its analysis of terms and conditions only at the date of presentation of the claim or whether it should have done so throughout the six year period.
