F&C loses sex discrimination appeal

F&C Asset Management has lost its challenge to a multi-million pound sex discrimination ruling against the group and now faces a remedy hearing where it could be ordered to pay up to £19m (€23.9m) in compensation.

The challenge relates to claims made by the former head of the legal team at F&C, Gillian Switalski, that she was sexually discriminated against, harassed and victimised by her employers, and in particular, her line manager Marrack Tonkin.
