Eccentricity-equal pay

”The council would fail in their duty if..they..allowed themselves to be guided by some eccentric principles of socialistic philantrophy, or by a feminist ambition to secure the equality of the sexes in the matter of wages in the world of labour”-Lord Atkinson, Roberts v Hopwood [1925] AC 578

Classic quote from his judgment in the judicial review case against the Metropolitan borough council’s decision to pay men and women equal amounts.
