Lewen v Denda [2000] IRLR 67 ECJ (1 other report)
In Lewen v Denda the European Court of Justice has ruled that whether an employee on parental leave is entitled under Article 119 of the EC Treaty (now Article 141) to a Christmas bonus depends on whether it is properly seen as pay for work performed or whether it is to encourage those in active employment to work hard in forthcoming months.
Susanne Lewen was employed by Mr Denda's firm when she became pregnant.
