Payout ruling over sexist jibes

A female estate agent whose former boss told her to "reduce her breast size or get some new blouses" has been awarded £28,900 by an employment tribunal.

Julie-Ann Read, 27, told the hearing in Exeter the sexist comments made her ill with depression.

She said her manager Gerald Probert also failed to pay her on time and, when she complained, suggested her boyfriend should pay the bills.

Mr Probert did not attend the hearing and was not available for comment.
