An 88-year-old hospital secretary who was frogmarched out of her office and sacked has become the oldest person to win a UK age discrimination case. Eileen Jolly sued the NHS trust where she worked for 25 years after her career ended at the age of 85. She was blamed for not uploading details of women awaiting non-urgent breast reconstruction surgery to a new database. An employment tribunal ruled she had not been trained properly and was the victim of unfair dismissal and discrimination.
