Court of Appeal rejects sex and pregnancy discrimination appeal

A woman has lost her sex and pregnancy discrimination case at the Court of Appeal. The woman was employed as a senior banker. She was made redundant not long after returning from maternity leave and she claimed that the decision to dismiss her was unlawful sex discrimination because had she not either been a woman and/or taken maternity leave she would still be employed. She also argued that other adverse treatment, which took place during her employment, was discrimination.
