Civil servant wins dress code case

A BRITISH civil servant who claimed he was a victim of sexual discrimination because he was ordered to wear a collar and tie to work has won his employment tribunal case.

Matthew Thompson, 32, from Stockport, complained that a dress code at the job centre where he worked required men to wear a tie but allowed women to wear T-shirts.

Mr Thompson, an administrative assistant, said he was “delighted” at the decision of the Manchester tribunal.
