Next Wins Appeal in Landmark UK Equal Pay Case
Retailer Next has successfully overturned a landmark equal pay ruling concerning claims of up to £1 billion. The Court of Appeal ruled that the claims, brought by shop floor staff, were not comparable to those of distribution centre workers. This decision reverses a previous High Court judgment that had allowed the comparison. The ruling is seen as a significant development in the ongoing equal pay disputes within the UK retail sector.
