RELATED CASES

  • In the EOC case, the Equal opportunities commission argued that the UK’s differing redundancy package for full time and part time workers discriminated against women.

  • The HL held that the UK law was in contravention of EC law and that it therefore could be disapplied, using Factortame as a precedent for its ability to do this.

  • Similarly it held that any national court, not just the HL, had the power to make such a declaration.
