New rules for equal pay claims

The Equal Pay Act 1970 (Amendment) Regulations 2003 SI 2003/1656 came into force on 19 July 2003. They make changes to the Equal Pay Act 1970 ("the Act") to reflect the requirements of EC law and the ECJ and EAT decisions in Levez v TH Jennings (Harlow Pools) Ltd (C-326/96 ECJ and [1999] IRLR 148 EAT); and ECJ and House of Lords decisions in Preston and others v Wolverhampton Healthcare NHS Trust and others (C-78/98 ECJ and [2001] IRLR 237 HL).
