LONDONThe woman at the centre of a high profile sex discrimination case against a leading investment bank has lost her case.
Katharina Tofeji brought an action for sex discrimination, victimization and constructive dismissal against BNP Paribas on the grounds of the way she was treated following her return to work after maternity leave.
Ms. Tofeji's solicitor, London-based Samantha Mangwana, who works at Russell Jones & Walker, described the failure of the case in a statement as, "a missed opportunity to deal with the widespread sex discrimination in the City that still persists," and said she and her client were looking into the possibility of an appeal.
