Case Summary

The Tribunal found that by virtue of the sex equality clause, the terms relating to pay in the Claimant’s contracts for presenting Newswatch from 1 October 2012 to 30 September 2018 were modified so as not to be less favourable than the terms relating to pay in Jeremy Vine’s contracts for presenting Points of View from 2008 to July 2018.

The tribunal found that the claimant's pay terms for presenting Newswatch were less favourable than those of the comparator (Jeremy Vine) for presenting Points of View, and therefore the sex equality clause operated to modify her contract terms to match his pay on a non-discriminatory basis.

• •Whether the Claimant’s work on Newswatch from October 2012 onwards was like Jeremy Vine’s work on Points of View between April 2008 and July 2018;
• •If not, whether the Claimant’s work on Newswatch was of equal value to the work of Jeremy Vine on Points of View;
• •Whether the Respondent had shown that one or more of the factors on which it relied was: (a) The real reason for the difference in pay; (b) The cause of the difference in pay; (c) Material, that is, a significant and relevant difference between the Claimant’s case and Mr Vine’s case; and (d) Did not involve any sex discrimination.
