The Court of Appeal says that it was not discrimination to force Police Officers to retire.

Italian law requires "on call contracts" (zero hours contracts) to be subject to objective conditions, unless the worker is either under 25 years of age or over 45 years of age. This case considered whether this law is age discriminatory.

An employment tribunal has ruled in favour of 200 judges whose pension entitlements were cut and found unjustified age discrimination.

The ECJ has ruled that a police force was justified in setting an age limit of 35 years old for new recruits.

The ECJ says that a national court must disapply principles of national law that conflict with the general principle of EU law prohibiting age discrimination, and cannot prioritise principles of legal certainty or legitimate expectations instead.

The EAT has dismissed an appeal against an ET's decision to strike out a direct age discrimination claim.
