The court of appeal in case of Bromley H & J Quick has ruled the statement of essential jobs as identical and was analytically insufficient as they are not categorized under the involvement of job evaluation as per the required act heading.

And therefore, what is really required here is an analytical approach or evaluation conducted and chosen by the competitors as well. And therefore, if an employer wants the tribunal to accept the job evaluation conducted in the firm, it must be free from any biasedness related to sex as well.
