The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has published its ruling in Allonby v Accrington & Rossendale College.
-
- Date:
- 1 March 2004
In Allonby v Accrington & Rossendale College and others [2004] IRLR 224 ECJ, the European Court of Justice held that a female lecturer employed via an agency could not claim equal pay in relation to a male lecturer employed directly by the college. The employment agency and the college could not be construed as being the same employer, and the differences in equal pay could not be attributed to a single source, so there was no single body responsible for the inequality.

In Allonby v Accrington & Rossendale College and others, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) rules that a lecturer employed through an agency could not claim equal pay with lecturers employed directly by the college, but she could claim entitlement to join the lecturers' statutory pension scheme even though it was open only to those with a contract of employment.

Durant v Financial Services Authority [2003] EWCA Civ 1746 CA
(2 other reports)
-
- Date:
- 20 February 2004
In Durant v Financial Services Authority, the Court of Appeal holds that, when an individual requests information under s.7 of the Data Protection Act 1998, the data controller must first determine whether the information sought is capable of being that person's "personal data" as defined, regardless of whether it is held in computerised or manual form. If (and to the extent that) it is not, it is not disclosable under s.7(1). All other issues then fall away and that is the end of the matter.

ECJ rules that change of catering contractor was a transfer of an
undertaking
Abler v Sodexho, ECJ
* * * A hospital had outsourced catering services for patients and staff to
an external contractor.The contractor
prepared and served meals on the hospital's premises.A new contractor, Sodexho, was appointed.The ECJ rejected Sodexho's argument that,
because it provided its own menus, stock, recipes, and staff and so took over
none of the previous contractor's workforce or assets, there was no transfer of
an undertaking on the change of contractor.
