In the case of Stacey Macken v BNP Paribas London Branch  a finance specialist who worked for the French international banking group BNP Parabis has won over £2 million in compensation. Ms Macken brought a number of claims in respect of discrimination and equal pay issues against the London Branch of BNP Paribas.

Central to her claim was that the fact that she was paid 25% less than that of her male peer and her bonus payment was also substantially lower than what he received, despite them receiving equal grades for their performance. The financial gap between Ms Macken and her male peer only continued to expand in the next couple years.

Ms Macken was also subject to “inherently sexist act[s]”, including a witch’s hat being left on her desk by a drunk male peer and her boss repeatedly replying to her with: “not now, Stacey”.

The Tribunal found that Ms Macken was entitled to compensation for her lost salary, lost bonuses, for harm to her future earnings , injury to her feelings and for loss of congenial employment. She had already received a payment from BNP Parabis prior to this award.

The judgment also found that BNP Parabis had failed to provide an effective apology to Ms Macken which was reflected in the compensation award.
