The U.K. Employment Tribunal has called into question the bonus policy of U.S. firm Cadwalader Wickersham & Taft, stating that it "put women at a particular disadvantage when compared with men".

Though the tribunal dismissed the claim for indirect sex discrimination brought by a female associate at the firm's London office, it agreed with her that women at the firm were disadvantaged by its policy of not reducing its hours targets for annual bonuses to reflect time spent on holiday.
