ABSTRACT
FRF 7,500’. The plaintiffs challenged the one off payment on the basis
that, whereas certain instances of discrimination such as maternity
leave, are justified because they are related to the physiological
characteristics of one sex, this is not the case with regard to the
payment in question, since, although the birth of a child concerns
women alone from a strictly physiological point of view, it is, at least
equal measure, a social event which concerns the whole family,
including the father.
