Description
Discrimination and the Law by Malcolm Sargeant provides an in-depth exploration of discrimination law, focusing primarily on employment. The book examines the concepts of equality and the historical origins of discrimination law, set within the broader political, social, and economic contexts that have shaped its evolution. The second edition has been updated to include a new chapter on discrimination against trade unionists, 'non-standard' workers, and the public sector equality duty. Sargeant critically analyses the protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010, including age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation. The book also considers issues not covered by the legislation, such as multiple discrimination and caste discrimination, and highlights important cases from UK courts and international courts. An appendix provides relevant parts of the 2010 Act, making this a valuable resource for law, HRM, and business students seeking an introduction to the wide-ranging law relating to discrimination in the UK.
