Article 141 of the EC Treaty of Rome is not limited to situations where men and women work for the same employer, but it does not cover the situation where pay differences between equal pay claimants and their comparators cannot be attributed to a single source, so that there is no single body responsible for the inequality and which can restore equal treatment, the European Court of Justice holds in Lawrence and others v Regent Office Care Ltd and others.

In Lommers v Minister van Landbouw, Natuurbeheer en Visseij, the European Court of Justice rules that a policy under which an employer provided female employees only with access to nursery places for their children at work, while denying male employees with children the same facility save in cases of emergency, did not breach the Equal Treatment Directive.

In Case-320/00 Lawrence and others v Regent
Office Care Ltd and others, the ECJ ruled on 17 September 2002 that a

different sex performing equal work or work of equal value cannot be attributed
to a single source, does not fall within the scope of Article 141 of the EC
Treaty, which lays down the principle of equal pay.
