Discrimination and the Law provides an exploration and evaluation
of discrimination law, focusing primarily on discrimination in
employment. Introducing readers to the concepts of equality and the
historical origins of discrimination law, Malcolm Sargeant explores
the wider political, social and economic contexts through which
discrimination law has evolved. The second edition has been
thoroughly updated and includes a new chapter considering
discrimination against trade unionists, discrimination against
'non-standard' workers as well as the public sector equality duty.
The book begins with an examination of what is meant by such
concepts as equality and discrimination followed by an analysis of
the Equality Act 2010 and the impact of EU and international law.
All the protected characteristics contained in the Equality Act
2010 are critically considered (age, disability, gender
reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and
maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation).
Issues not covered by the legislation such as those relating to
multiple discrimination and caste discrimination are also analysed.
Important cases from the UK courts as well as international courts
are considered. The book also contains an appendix with the most
relevant parts of the 2010 Act. Important cases are highlighted in
the text and some reflections as the basis for further discussion
are included at the end of each chapter. This is an essential
introduction to the wide-ranging law relating to discrimination in
the UK for law, HRM and business students.
