'Long term consequences' | RAF Sergeant to sue Ministry of Defence after pregnancy set back her promotion

A Royal Air Force Sergeant who missed out on a promotion, because her medical board was cancelled when she became pregnant, has won an appeal to have her claim heard at an employment tribunal.

Ms H Curtis alleged that the decision to cancel the assessment - which was required for her to rank up from Corporal to a Sergeant post - was discriminatory and caused “long term, negative, consequences for her career and career extension”.
