Spicer v Government of Spain: CA 29 Jul 2004

The claimant worked at a school in London operated by the respondent, and he was paid by them. Spanish teachers received relocation allowances, and he complained that this was discriminatory. The respondent had failed to comply with the order made by the EAT.
Held: The failure by the respondent to comply with the order meant that it was now debarred form seeking to rely upon a defence of objective justification. Spanish civil servants relocated here received a higher overall income than their English counterparts. The EAT had erred in finding no detriment to the claimant. In doing so it had readmitted at the back door the defence of objective justification turned away at the front.
