In Kessell v Passion for Perfume Limited [2007] ET/1700345/07, a woman whose dismissal was brought about after only two months’ employment because her age and experience were seen as a threat by her younger female manager was awarded over £11,000 in compensation.

Macmillan Publishers has been fined £55,000 for failing to comply with the Information and Consultation of Employees Regulations 2004 (ICE regulations). This is the first penalty awarded under the ICE regulations

February sees the introduction of employer fines of up to £10,000 for failure to check an employee's eligilbity to work in the UK

Misapplication of retirement provisions leads to a £35,000 compensation payment. Plewes v Adam Pork Produce Ltd [2007] ET/2600842/07 illustrates the importance for employers of obtaining a clear understanding of new legislation well before it is implemented, so as to anticipate any contractual or other changes that may be necessary. In this case because, by terminating its employees’ contracts on the day before their 65th birthday, the employer operated a "normal retirement date" that was below 65. In effect it fell foul of the age discrimination Regulations by one day. Had the employment contract provided for a normal retirement date of 65 or above, the employer could have effected a fair and non-discriminatory dismissal simply by using the correct procedure.
