Clyde & Co LLP and another v Van Winkelhof [2011] EWHC 668 (QB), [2011] All ER (D) 270 (Mar)

Section 144(1) of the Equality Act 2010 rendered unenforceable an agreement to preclude or limit the continuation of sex discrimination proceedings before an employment tribunal unless reached in accordance with s 144(4) of that Act. An agreement to submit the dispute to arbitration was only enforceable if it satisfied the conditions in s 144(6).
