Countrywide employee wins by default employment tribunal case on ‘indirect sex discrimination’

A woman has won her case against Countrywide estate agents on grounds of indirect sex discrimination, constructive unfair dismissal and breach of flexible working regulations.

The judgment of the employment tribunal was made by default, in the absence of a response from the company.

A “remedy hearing” estimated to last three hours was due to be held before a Judge sitting alone on April 5. However, we understand this has been postponed.

The woman is named as Mrs H. Levy. The judgment was dated February 15.

No more information has been made available on the case by the official press service.

We have, however, asked Countrywide for a comment.

    Are CW so busy with chucking their buckets of water over the side of the sinking ship that they don’t even respond to a legal claim made against them?

    Seems like A) an admission of guilt; B) an admission of apathy towards their staff and; C) a breach of duty of care to staff.
