    Bainbridge and others v Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council (No.2) [2007] IRLR 494 EAT (0 other reports)

In 1) Bainbridge & Ors 2) Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council v 1) Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council 2) Williams EAT/0424/06 & EAT/0031/07 the Employment Appeal Tribunal held that successful equal pay claims confer the right to up to six years' back pay prior to the institution of proceedings. However, where an equal pay claim is based on a job evaluation scheme, equal pay may be awarded only from the date on which the scheme was completed.
