Latest case reports added to XpertHR

We provide a round-up of case reports added to XpertHR this week, covering equal pay and dispute resolution. 

• Equal pay: Successive contracts were part of a "stable employment relationship" In Slack and others v Cumbria County Council and Equality and Human Rights Commission sub nom Cumbria County Council v Dow (No.2) [2009] IRLR 463 CA, the Court of Appeal held that employees engaged on consecutive contracts for the same work, and on the same terms, apart from a reduction in hours, were in a "stable employment relationship" for the purposes of time limits under the Equal Pay Act 1970. (Employment Review)
• Dispute resolution: COT3 agreement did not preclude victimisation arising from later events, the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) stated that the "range of reasonable responses" test does not apply to constructive dismissal. The EAT stated that the employee needs to be able to show that the employer, without good reason, conducted itself in a way that was calculated, or likely, to destroy or damage the relationship of confidence and trust between them. (Employment Review)
