    In Fire Brigades Union v Fraser, the EAT upholds an industrial tribunal's decision that a male firefighter, against whom allegations of sexual harassment were made by a female colleague, suffered direct sex discrimination when his trade union denied him representation and financial assistance for legal fees in respect of the disciplinary hearing held by his employer in connection with the allegations.
