Asda Stores Ltd v Brierley & Ors [2019] EWCA Civ 44

Depot workers were appropriate comparators for female shop workers

The Court of Appeal has held that female shop workers at Asda could use as comparators for their equal pay claim male depot workers working at different locations.

There were two main aspects to the case brought by Asda employees; an equal pay issue and use of the multiple claim process in the employment tribunal on a single form. The Court of Appeal decided the latter issue that multiple claims in this litigation were not based on the same set of facts.
