Marschall v Land Nordrhein-Westfalen [1998] IRLR 39 ECJ (2 other reports)
In Marschall v Land Nordrhein-Westfalen (11 November 1997) EOR77A, the European Court of Justice holds that it is not contrary to the EC Equal Treatment Directive for equally-qualified women to be given preference for promotion where there are fewer women than men in the relevant post, so long as male candidates are guaranteed that women are not to be given priority if reasons specific to an individual man tilt the balance in his favour.
