Glasgow Compromise Agreements
Stefan Cross believes that the Compromise Agreement people were required to sign - may not be a valid agreement under s77 of the Sex Discrimination Act 1975.
If the agreement is not valid - then those affected by these Compromise Agreements may be able to revisit the original settlements accepted from Glasgow City Council in 2005.
At the moment, these Compromise Agreements are being challenged via the Glasgow Employment Tribunal - and we expect a hearing to take place on this issue in the New Year.
If the challenge is successful and the Employment Tribunal agrees that the Glasgow Compromise Agreements are not valid agreements, then people's claims will be able to proceed for the entire period.
In other words, these claims will all be re-opened - and can look again the period prior to December 2005
All Glasgow clients have been asked to send a copy of their 2005 Compromise Agreements to Stefan Cross.
If you have not done so already, it is vital that you send us a copy of your Compromise Agreement, as soon as possible - the office address is:
