This textbook offers comprehensive coverage of the Equality Act
2010 and deals also with the equality aspects of the Human Rights
Act 1998 and European Convention on Human Rights. It encourages
critical analysis of equality law to equip the reader with an
understanding of the enduring challenges that frame equality law
and contemporary responses to those challenges. New content
includes a chapter on age discrimination and analysis of the Public
Sector Equality Duty. Structured so as to be accessible to the
student approaching discrimination law for the first time, the book
is also sufficiently detailed and analytical to appeal to the
well-informed reader, and to provide those engaged in research with
a solid base for further independent study. For the undergraduate
student studying discrimination law as a free-standing subject or
as part of a wider course, the book provides a one-stop shop. This
book is also a key core text for any postgraduate discrimination
law course.
This casebook, the result of the collaborative efforts of a panel
of experts from various EU Member States, is the latest in the Ius
Commune Casebook series developed at the Universities of Maastricht
and Leuven. The book provides a comprehensive and skilfully
designed resource for students, practitioners, researchers, public
officials, NGOs, consumer organisations and the judiciary. In
common with earlier books in the series, this casebook presents
cases and other materials (legislative materials, international and
European materials, excerpts from books or articles). As
non-discrimination law is a comparatively new subject, the chapters
search for and develop the concepts of discrimination law on the
basis of a wide variety of young and often still emerging case law
and legislation. The result is a comprehensive textbook with
materials from a wide variety of EU Member States. The book is
entirely in English (i.e. materials are translated where not
available in English). At the end of each chapter a comparative
overview ties the material together, with emphasis, where
appropriate, on existing or emerging general principles in the
legal systems within Europe. The book illustrates the distinct
relationship between international, European and national
legislation in the field of non-discrimination law. It covers the
grounds of discrimination addressed in the Racial Equality and
Employment Equality Directives, as well as non-discrimination law
relating to gender. In so doing, it covers the law of a large
number of EU Member States, alongside some international
comparisons. The Ius Commune Casebook on Non-Discrimination Law -
provides practitioners with ready access to primary and secondary
legal material needed to assist them in crafting test case
strategies. - provides the judiciary with the tools needed to
respond sensitively to such cases. - provides material for teaching
non-discrimination law to law and other students. - provides a
basis for ongoing research on non-discrimination law. - provides an
up-to-date overview of the implementation of the Directives and of
the state of the law. This Casebook is the result of a project
which has been supported by a grant from the European Commission's
Anti-Discrimination Programme. See the detailed website for this
book: www.casebooks.eu/nonDiscrimination/.

This book explores some of the conceptual questions that underpin
the legal disputes which arise in relation to equality and
discrimination. Among these questions are: the meaning of
'equality' as a legal concept and its relationship to the principle
of non-discrimination * symmetrical and asymmetrical approaches to
equality/non-discrimination * the role of comparators in
discrimination/equality analysis * the selection of protected
characteristics and the proper sphere of statutory and
constitutional protections * the scope for and regulation of
potential conflicts between protected grounds. The book engages
with domestic, European Union, and European Convention on Human
Rights case law, as well as with wider international approaches. It
also addresses a number of contemporary issues for
discrimination/equality law, including the problem of racial
profiling and the regulation of multiple discrimination. This is an
interesting study for all those working in the fields of
discrimination and human rights. (Series: Human Rights Law in
Perspective)
