Discrimination Law cover

This textbook presents a critical and theoretical analysis of equality law. It equips the reader with an understanding of the enduring challenges that frame equality law and contemporary responses to those challenges.

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.

A very useful book which contains a wealth of information. It is essential for any student or practitioner wishing to understand modern discrimination law. -- David Hill * Robert Gordon University *
This is an excellent resource for students new to the study of equality law. It offers a comprehensive overview of the statutory framework and excellent analysis of the impact of the leading case law. -- Ruth Payne * Cardiff University *
A valuable addition to the field of study of discrimination law. -- Ralf Rogowski * University of Warwick *
