    Gatehouse v Stretton Leisure Ltd [1994] IT/13370/93 (0 other reports)

A woman who was warned that she would have to look for a new job if she didn't alter her hairstyle was unlawfully discriminated against on grounds of sex, rules a Liverpool industrial tribunal (Chair: E Lloyd-Parry) in Gatehouse v Stretton Leisure Ltd.

Tracey Gatehouse joined Stretton Leisure, which supplies amusement machines to the licensee trade, as a sales coordinator in November 1990.
