Equality Act 2010 - Dual discrimination claims delayed

Most of the provisions under the Equality Act were introduced in October 2010, however, the ability to bring a dual discrimination claim was one of several measures postponed until a later date.  The Government has confirmed that the planned implementation date of April 2011 will not go ahead on schedule.

It is reported that ministers are "still considering how best to take forward the dual discrimination provisions". It is understood that guidance will be published 12 weeks before the provisions come into force.

Dual discrimination will allow individuals who believe they have been treated less favourably because of two "protected characteristics" - such as age, disability, race, gender reassignment, religion or belief, sexual orientation or gender - to bring a combined claim.  At present, such claims would have to be heard separately.
