The East London Tribunal recently issued its judgement in the following case in which it was ruled that, calling an older female banker who would not dye her hair ‘Christine Lagarde’ was not discrimination.

An employment judge found that the nickname was “part of the irritation of day-to-day office life which occasionally occurs”.

The female banker, who had been made redundant, claimed that her redundancy was the result of a “culture of sexism and ageism” at the bank and was discriminated for being an older woman who refused to dye her hair.
