As FL states, the employer will have to view applications more favourably.
Not me.
Mistaken ID?


If you'd said the employer will now have to view applications by women employees more favourably, I'd agree.

The tribunal's decision distinguished between women employees and men employees. That was the issue.
When forecasting the likely consequences of the tribunal's decision, it's necessary to make the same distinction.
To do otherwise is to misunderstand what the case was about or, in some instances I suspect, to actively misrepresent what the case was about and the likely consequences of Mrs Starmer's victory.

Just noticed your post.
Good questions, but they can't be answered in a few sentences.
Early early start tomorrow. I'll respond soon.
