There is a lot of activity currently in the arena of equal pay litigation, with six separate group actions being brought against major retailers
In this week’s NLJ, Charles Pigott, professional support lawyer, Mills & Reeve, explores the first substantive ruling to emerge—last month’s employment tribunal decision in Thandi v Next Retail and another.

Pigott looks at the issues and reasoning in the case, as well as the wider picture on equal pay, including government plans to extend protection.
