Join Dale Martin KC and Kieran Wilson as they examine legislation, case law and (above all) strategy in this complex and high stakes area of employment litigation with topics including:
- Recent developments: Birmingham, Next and Asda.
- Background to current legislation, including status of EU law post-Brexit.
- Equal pay/sex discrimination cross-over: the difficult case of discretionary bonuses.
- Defences: valid comparisons and equal pay time limits.
- Material factors and the (relative!) ease and impact of tainting by numbers.
- Sources of evidence and preserving corporate memory.
- Strategic considerations: how to pace (or quicken) the litigation.
- Modern trends & the consequences of getting it wrong (gagging clauses, audits and worse).
