German bank Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein is fighting a sex discrimination lawsuit brought be six former high-level women bankers.
The Times reports Dresdner applied for the dismissal of the case of Katherine Smith, a London-based banker. Dresdner claimed that she should bring her case separately under British law. The bank also asked the court to excise scandalous and mean-spirited allegations about visits to strip clubs and an open affair by a former CE. Dresdner said that these claims were irrelevant. Dresdner said the women were using smear tactics and media to tarnish the banks reputation. Full report in The Times
