Webinar | Litigating Equal Pay Claims

21/11/2023

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:

1. Recent developments: Birmingham, Next and Asda.
2. Background to current legislation, including status of EU law post-Brexit.
3. Equal pay/sex discrimination cross-over: the difficult case of discretionary bonuses.
4. Defences: valid comparisons and equal pay time limits.
5. Material factors and the (relative!) ease and impact of tainting by numbers.
6. Sources of evidence and preserving corporate memory.
7. Strategic considerations: how to pace (or quicken) the litigation.
8. Modern trends & the consequences of getting it wrong (gagging clauses, audits and worse).
