Birmingham City Council "considering its options" following court ruling

Following the Supreme Court ruling that has given the go-ahead to former employees to launch unequal pay claims, Birmingham City Council says it is considering its options.

Lawyers say the landmark case could have "huge implications".

“Equal pay litigation until now has always been pursued in employment tribunals as these tribunals are experienced and specifically trained in dealing with such claims.
