H of L Decision - Taylor v secretary of State for Scotland

  • Posted

The House of Lords has this morning (Thurs) handed down its opinion in Taylor v Secretary of State for Scotland, upholding the Court of Appeal's decision.

It held that on a proper construction of a prison officer's contract of employment, which included a retirement age of 55 but also an undertaking not to discriminate on grounds of age, that the mandatory retirement age did not breach the anti-discrimination policy.

The transcript (which is fairly short) is attached (reproduced with the permission of the controller of Her Majesty's Stationery Office).

Some articles on age discrimination can be found on my website at www.danielbarnett.co.uk
