Reports relating to this case:

  • Sex discrimination: Minimum 75% full-time hours policy is indirectly discriminatory

    Date:
    14 October 2005

    In British Airways plc v Starmer, the EAT holds that the tribunal was entitled to find that a decision by the employer not to allow the employee to work part-time at 50% of her full-time hours, but only at 75%, was a "provision, criterion or practice" for the purposes of s.1(2)(b) of the Sex Discrimination Act 1975.
