The Case
Where the female employee complained that she had been discriminated against on grounds of sex on the basis that her male comparators were allocated more extra shifts, the Employment Appeal Tribunal held that, in dismissing her claim, the employment tribunal had failed to give adequate reasons for its conclusions and had reached conclusions not open to it on the evidence. Accordingly, the employee's appeal was allowed and the matter was remitted to a differently constituted tribunal for fresh consideration.
