Age Discrimination the saga continues……

For those of you intently following the Heyday case which has been referred to the European Court of Justice to ascertain whether an employer can legally make an employee retire at the age of 65 in the UK or whether this is not in line with the directive.
The Advocate General, a legal advisor to the European Court of Justice, has given his opinion supporting the UK legislation that employers can make individuals retire at the age of 65. This decision is NOT legally binding, but may influence the Judges within the European Court when making their ruling. Not to be smug but this is in line with what we said back in February 2007.

It is anticipated that the European Court of Justice will give their ruling at Christmas. We wait with baited breath. Watch this space………
