Main issues

Material factor defence

Sharp v Caledonia Group Services Ltd

[2006] IRLR 4, EAT (Judge Ansell)

Equal pay – material factor defence requires objective justification

Assessing 'disparate effect'

'Single source' -  art 141

Tribunal using own knowledge

Armstrong v Newcastle NHS Hospital Trust [2005] EWCA Civ 1608, [2006] IRLR 124, CA (Buxton, Latham and Arden LJJ)

Equal pay - assessment of "disparate effect" must be done on a case by case basis.

Evidence that an employer has negotiated with both the employee's and the comparator's unions about pay does not necessarily mean the employer constitutes a single source for the purposes of art 141
