Oliver Isaacs appeared for European Credit Limited which resulted in the successful resistance of a claim valued at over £4 million

22nd December 2011

In Hosso v European Credit Management Ltd, the Court of Appeal has held that an employment tribunal erred when finding that a claim concerning discrimination in the allocation of share options could proceed under the Equal Pay Act 1970 rather than the Sex Discrimination Act 1975.  The case is of some importance on the demarcation between equal pay and sex discrimination.  Oliver Isaacs appeared for European Credit Limited in this long running dispute which resulted in the successful resistance of a claim valued at over £4 million.
 
The case is reported on Lawtel and will appear a future edition of IDS Employment Law Brief.
