Year2011

Key Principle

In an equal pay claim, substituting or adding a comparator who is doing work that is substantially the same as that of the originally named comparators does not introduce a new cause of action, so the arrears/limitation period is not affected; what matters is the substance of the work compared, not the identity of the individual comparator.
