Case
In Pell v Wagstaff and Wheatley Hotel [2000] ET/2801882/99, an employment tribunal found that Mr Pell had been less favourably treated on the grounds of his sex when he was turned down for a job because he refused to cut his long hair.
In two recent cases (Erogbogbo v Vision Express UK Ltd; Pell v Wagstaff) the employer was held to have unlawfully discriminated against individuals because of their hairstyle.
