The concept of reasonable adjustment (alternatively known as
reasonable accommodation) is rapidly gaining significance for
countries throughout Europe and beyond. Directive 2000/78 required
all EU Member States to ensure that, by the end of 2006 at the
latest, reasonable accommodation obligations would operate to
protect disabled people from unequal treatment in the context of
employment. The new United Nations Convention on the Rights of
Persons with Disabilities will require ratifying States to impose
such obligations in a broad range of situations. This book provides
a detailed and critical analysis of the current and potential role
of reasonable adjustment duties in British law. It explores the
notion of the anticipatory reasonable adjustment duty - a notion
which is, in many respects, distinctively British. It probes the
relationship between reasonable adjustment and other concepts,
including indirect discrimination and positive discrimination.
Drawing particularly on US debates, potential sources of resistance
to the duties are exposed and an attempt is made to suggest
pre-emptive counter strategies. Attention is also given to issues
of legal reform and rationalisation - issues of immense topicality
and importance in view of the recent British move towards a single
Equality Act. In short, this book examines the current and
potential role of reasonable adjustment duties in Britain. It will
be of interest to lawyers, policy-makers and students working in
the field of disability rights. It will also be of interest to all
those concerned with the operation and development of equality law
and policy more generally, both in Britain and beyond.
