At Stratford Tribunal on 2 December, a decision was given that awards an AG1 six years back pay on an equal pay case that lasted three days. After hearing evidence that brings the whole question of performance-related pay into question, the Tribunal refused LUL the right to appeal a decision that could send shock waves around the business world. The way performance-related pay is calculated and awarded will have to be looked at so carefully in future, it is probable that the system will be scrapped.
