The judge stressed the ruling did not mean the 44,000 claimants had won the right to equal pay, but are now free to take further action.

Kate Gorton, one of the claimants in the case, said the difference between the pay of workers on the shop floor and distribution centres was "significant".

Ms Gorton, who worked in Asda stores in Stoke-on-Trent and Coventry between 2011 and 2019, said: "The difference in pay was between £1 and £4 an hour. This case goes back to 2016 so Asda should have resolved it a long time ago.

"The difference in pay still goes on today."

Dudley Council admitted some residents had received letters for May's elections addressed to previous occupants after "we accidentally used data from a previous year".

Despite living and being registered at her current address for almost four years, Jo Easthope, from Dudley, was among those to receive a letter on Friday.

It was addressed to a former resident whom she was told by neighbours had died.

"It has always been drummed into me to vote, I have only missed one vote since I was 18 which was when I was undergoing chemotherapy," she said.

Ms Easthope said she had tried to call the council about the situation, but had only been able to leave a voicemail and had not had a response.

She has now re-registered to vote, but said she was worried it would not go through in time for her to vote in the upcoming local elections on 6 May.

Kevin O'Keefe, the council's chief executive and electoral returning officer, said it would review its checking system but the error had only affected people who had moved house since 2016.

"If you have voted at the same address previously, you do not need to take any action. People only need to get in touch if there are changes at the property or if they wish to register for a postal vote."
