Barnard v Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Authority (EQUAL PAY) [2024] EAT 12 (03 January 2024)
The Tribunal did not err in finding that the requirement for comparators to maintain operational competence was a genuine and operative contractual obligation, even if not always fully complied with in practice, and could be relied upon as a material factor. The Tribunal was entitled to find that the pay differential was a proportionate means of achieving legitimate aims, and the precedent of equalising pay at HOST level did not undermine this. The constructive unfair dismissal claim failed as there was no fundamental breach of contract or implied duty of trust and confidence.
