Discrimination
It is unlawful to discriminate (or harass) on the grounds of gender, marital status, race, ethnicity, nationality, disability, religion and belief, sexual orientation and (since October 2006) age.
Claims for discrimination and harassment are (unlike most types of unfair dismissal claim) unlimited in potential value. An employee that suffers harassment on the above grounds may also seek compensation for injury to feelings and personal injury.
We act for employees and employers in relation to discrimination and harassment claims. We understand the importance of these issues to both sides and therefore when it comes to advising employers we are able to assist with strategic policy changes to minimise the prospect of successful claims.
