Robinson and Another v Landless: EAT 2 Dec 2004

EAT Sex Discrimination / Unfair Dismissal
Appeal against finding of sex discrimination and constructive dismissal in favour of female salaried partner in firm of solicitors. Lack of clarity as to whether direct or indirect discrimination was found. If indirect, Applicant did not now support such claim. If direct, no sufficient findings, and no consideration of Respondent’s explanations or as to continuing act. Constructive dismissal flawed by absence of findings and/ or incorrect approach and (on Applicant’s cross-appeal) no reasons for finding of waiver. Remission of direct discrimination claim and constructive dismissal (on appeal and cross-appeal) to same Tribunal (Sinclair Roche considered).
