Q. Are claims for associative discrimination valid?

Question: Are claims for associative discrimination valid?




Answer by Employment Lawyer: Disability discrimination can encompass associative discrimination of a carer, as established in the case of Coleman v Attridge Law. However, this does not extend to associative protection under the Sex Discrimination Act, for example a claim cannot be made on the grounds of a partner becoming pregnant.
