Unison GMB v Brennan and others: EAT 19 Mar 2008

EAT Jurisdictional Points
Sex discrimination
Can an employment tribunal make a declaration that the term of a collective agreement is void, pursuant to section 77 of the Sex Discrimination Act, at the behest of a claimant who can bring proceedings under the Equal Pay Act for breach of the equality clause, where if the claim succeeds, it necessarily involves a finding that the term was unlawfully discriminatory? The EAT held that they can.
