Age discrimination: Denial of unvested share options not discriminatory

Air Products plc v Cockram [2018] IRLR 755 CA

direct age discrimination | justification | long-term incentive share plan

In Air Products plc v Cockram, the Court of Appeal held that the employment tribunal was correct to find that a rule in a long-term incentive share plan that employees whose employment terminates before they are 55 forfeit all unvested awards under the plan is justified.
