Martin & Co has recently secured a six figure award for a client who was a manager in a well known bus company based in Manchester. The claim was heard over four days at the Manchester employment tribunal and she succeeded in her claims for sex discimination, unfair dismissal and breach of contract.
Our client was particularly pleased, as before instructing Martin & Co, she had been advised by other lawyers not to pursue the sex discrimination claim, which made up a substantial part of the award. Not only that, but her legal fees were paid by an insurance company under her home insurance policy, which means that she pocketed all of the compensation. This was one of the highest awards to be made in Manchester for some time.
