In Bailey and others v Home Office, the Court of Appeal holds that the tribunal was correct to hold that the Home Office was required to show that there was a genuine material factor which was not the difference of sex and which objectively justified the less favourable terms of the claimants' contracts, who had been evaluated as performing work of an equal value to their male comparators, but who were paid at a lower rate.
