Sting and Trudie Styler have been ordered to pay former chef Jane Martin £24,944 in that previously reported unfair dismissal and sexual discrimination case. As you'll remember, Martin claimed to have been sacked from her position at the couple's Wiltshire estate because she had fallen pregnant, and won her case back on 8 Jun.
James Simpson, the chairman of the industrial tribunal, said his panel was surprised by the low level of the claim for compensation set by legal representative Michael Norman. The Stings, or rather the Lake House Estate - which is the party named in the case - has won the right to appeal against both the ruling and damages.
