The employee was dismissed. The tribunal found that the suggestion of redundancy was a pretence, but had then gone on to find sex discrimination and found against the employer without considering the possibility of a defence under the section. However, the EAT found that that possibility must be raised by the employer’s advocate. Appeal dismissed.
