Equality Act 2010-Changes Today

08/10/2010

We are concerned about the quality of drafting of the Act - specifically the sections of the Act dealing with Compromise Agreements.

Suffice to say until these drafting issues are resolved by amendment or case law - employers should ensure any Compromise Agreement they use is fit for purpose, up-to-date and that it effectively settles discrimination claims under the Act. There may, depending on the issues - be other safer ways to effect a settlement.

KBL can assist with drafting and advising upon Compromise Agreements.
