Glasgow GMF Hearing
The Glasgow GMF hearing – which was held over two weeks in March - has been adjourned and will reconvene in the summer.
The feedback from the hearing has been very positive and Stefan Cross Solicitors fielded a highly experienced legal team:
1. Carol Fox – Head of Litigation for Stefan Cross Solicitors in Scotland
2. Paul Clark – a solicitor with Stefan Cross who has been involved with the Glasgow cases from Day 1
3. Daphne Romney, QC – one of the leading equal pay barristers in the UK
4. Juliette Casey – another talented advocate, based in Scotland
The main Stefan Cross witnesses – low paid women workers with the city council – all gave very powerful evidence to confirm that big bonus payments were never offered to groups of female workers.
The big pay gap between male and female jobs is not in dispute – and it is for the council to show how that difference in pay can be justified.
We have offered to discuss a negotiated settlement with the council – but if that doesn’t come about, the cases will proceed as planned.
We will let people know – as soon as there are any further developments.
