    In Collins v Wilkin & Chapman, a Nottingham industrial tribunal rules that an equal pay claim may be brought under EC law where the comparator is perceived to be of the opposite sex but is the same sex biologically. In P v S and Cornwall County Council, a Truro industrial tribunal seeks guidance from the European Court of Justice on whether the Equal Treatment Directive prohibits discrimination against a transsexual.
