“An independent expert report as to equal value was not always necessary before an employment tribunal could determine an equal value pay claim based on the contents of a job evaluation scheme (‘JES’). However, the fact that there was only a small difference in points awarded to a claimant and her male comparators in a JES did not of itself establish that the jobs were of equal value, and a claimant who relied on such a JES rather than an independent expert’s report risked failing to persuade the tribunal that her job was of equal value.”

Rank Nemo (DMS) Ltd and Others v Coutinho
Court of Appeal
“An employment tribunal had no jurisdiction to enforce a discrimination compensation award it made to an employee; however, if the employee had entered a county court judgment on the award and the employer still failed to pay the money, then the employment tribunal could link the failure to post-employment discrimination and victimisation in order to assume jurisdiction to enforce the judgment.”
