-
- Date:
- 31 December 1976
In Defrenne v Sabena (No.2) [1976] ECR 455 ECJ, the European Court of Justice held that member states are bound to ensure and maintain the principle of equal pay for equal work as enshrined in Article 119 of the Treaty of Rome. It also held that in cases of direct discrimination, whether by the actions of public authorities or not, Article 119 is directly applicable to national law and gives rise to rights that national courts must protect.

(2 reports relating to this case)
-
- Date:
- 2 February 2007
This article looks at some of the important judgments in the area of the transfer of undertakings over the past year.
-
- Date:
- 4 June 1985
In Delabole Slate Ltd v Berriman the Court of Appeal upholds the EAT's decision that a dismissal which occurs as a consequence of a change in terms of employment following the transfer of an undertaking is not a dismissal for "an economic, technical or organisational reason entailing changes in the workforce", and so is automatically unfair under reg.8(1) of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981.
