Employer’s letters were victimisation

Derbyshire and Others v. St Helens Metropolitan Borough Council (Equal Opportunities Commission and Others, intervening)

House of Lords

“Letters sent by an employer to employees warning them of the consequences if they persisted with equal pay claims had gone further than was reasonable in protecting the employer’s interests in the litigation and had amounted to victimisation under the Sex Discrimination Act 1975.”
