Fife GMF Hearing

The GMF hearing involving Fife Council was held over two weeks in April – progress was slow, at first, and there were all the usual problems in getting accurate pay details – on which to assess the differences in pay between male and female jobs.

Again Stefan Cross Solicitors were represented by a highly experienced legal team:

1. Carol Fox – Head of Litigation for Stefan Cross Solicitors in Scotland
2. Paul Clark – a solicitor with Stefan Cross who has been involved with the Fife cases from the outset
3. Robin Allen, QC – a highly experienced barrister and recognised as a one of the leading experts on equal pay in the UK
4. Juliette Casey – another advocate, involved in the Glasgow GMF, based in Scotland

The council has already agreed to abandon some of its initial GMF defences – and the hearing has been adjourned for the moment.

Discussions have taken place with the council regarding a negotiated settlement to the Fife claims – no firm answer as yet - but if the council does not come to its senses, then the cases will proceed to a conclusion.
