Laid Off Garden Stirling Employees Win Compensation

A Scottish employment tribunal has awarded £20,000 in compensation to two former staffers at Garden Stirling.

The tribunal rejected claims made by 56-year-old paralegal assistant Linda Bruce, and 52-year-old financial adviser Anne Crawford, that age discrimination played a part in their firings.

But the tribunal agreed that Crawford was not offered outplacement, and that Bruce was unfairly selected for redundancy.

Bruce of was awarded £19,688 ($33,000), and Crawford was awarded £1,782 ($3,000).

Haddington, Scotland-based real estate law firm Garden Stirling Burnet has offices in Tranent and Dunbar.
