PART 2 AMENDMENTS TO THE 1995 ACT Meaning of “discrimination” and “harassment” 4 1 In the heading to Part 2, for “EMPLOYMENT” substitute “THE EMPLOYMENT FIELD”. 2 After the heading, and before section 4, insert the following sections— Meaning of “discrimination” and “harassment” Meaning of “discrimination” 3A   1 For the purposes of this Part, a person discriminates against a disabled person if— a for a reason which relates to the disabled person’s disability, he treats him less favourably than he treats or would treat others to whom that reason does not or would not apply, and b he cannot show that the treatment in question is justified. 2 For the purposes of this Part, a person also discriminates against a disabled person if he fails to comply with a duty to make reasonable adjustments imposed on him in relation to the disabled person. 3 Treatment is justified for the purposes of subsection (1)(b) if, but only if, the reason for it is both material to the circumstances of the particular case and substantial. 4 But treatment of a disabled person cannot be justified under subsection (3) if it amounts to direct discrimination falling within subsection (5). 5 A person directly discriminates against a disabled person if, on the ground of the disabled person’s disability, he treats the disabled person less favourably than he treats or would treat a person not having that particular disability whose relevant circumstances, including his abilities, are the same as, or not materially different from, those of the disabled person. 6 If, in a case falling within subsection (1), a person is under a duty to make reasonable adjustments in relation to a disabled person but fails to comply with that duty, his treatment of that person cannot be justified under subsection (3) unless it would have been justified even if he had complied with that duty. Meaning of “harassment” 3B   1 For the purposes of this Part, a person subjects a disabled person to harassment where, for a reason which relates to the disabled person’s disability, he engages in unwanted conduct which has the purpose or effect of— a violating the disabled person’s dignity, or b creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for him. 2 Conduct shall be regarded as having the effect referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (1) only if, having regard to all the circumstances, including in particular the perception of the disabled person, it should reasonably be considered as having that effect. . Employment; contract workers; office-holders 5 For sections 4 to 6 (and the preceding cross-heading), substitute the following sections— Employment Employers: discrimination and harassment 4   1 It is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against a disabled person— a in the arrangements which he makes for the purpose of determining to whom he should offer employment; b in the terms on which he offers that person employment; or c by refusing to offer, or deliberately not offering, him employment. 2 It is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against a disabled person whom he employs— a in the terms of employment which he affords him; b in the opportunities which he affords him for promotion, a transfer, training or receiving any other benefit; c by refusing to afford him, or deliberately not affording him, any such opportunity; or d by dismissing him, or subjecting him to any other detriment. 3 It is also unlawful for an employer, in relation to employment by him, to subject to harassment— a a disabled person whom he employs; or b a disabled person who has applied to him for employment. 4 Subsection (2) does not apply to benefits of any description if the employer is concerned with the provision (whether or not for payment) of benefits of that description to the public, or to a section of the public which includes the employee in question, unless— a that provision differs in a material respect from the provision of the benefits by the employer to his employees; b the provision of the benefits to the employee in question is regulated by his contract of employment; or c the benefits relate to training. 5 The reference in subsection (2)(d) to the dismissal of a person includes a reference— a to the termination of that person’s employment by the expiration of any period (including a period expiring by reference to an event or circumstance), not being a termination immediately after which the employment is renewed on the same terms; and b to the termination of that person’s employment by any act of his (including the giving of notice) in circumstances such that he is entitled to terminate it without notice by reason of the conduct of the employer. 6 This section applies only in relation to employment at an establishment in Great Britain. Employers: duty to make adjustments 4A   1 Where— a a provision, criterion or practice applied by or on behalf of an employer, or b any physical feature of premises occupied by the employer, places the disabled person concerned at a substantial disadvantage in comparison with persons who are not disabled, it is the duty of the employer to take such steps as it is reasonable, in all the circumstances of the case, for him to have to take in order to prevent the provision, criterion or practice, or feature, having that effect. 2 In subsection (1), “the disabled person concerned” means— a in the case of a provision, criterion or practice for determining to whom employment should be offered, any disabled person who is, or has notified the employer that he may be, an applicant for that employment; b in any other case, a disabled person who is— i an applicant for the employment concerned, or ii an employee of the employer concerned. 3 Nothing in this section imposes any duty on an employer in relation to a disabled person if the employer does not know, and could not reasonably be expected to know— a in the case of an applicant or potential applicant, that the disabled person concerned is, or may be, an applicant for the employment; or b in any case, that that person has a disability and is likely to be affected in the way mentioned in subsection (1). Contract workers Contract workers 4B   1 It is unlawful for a principal, in relation to contract work, to discriminate against a disabled person who is a contract worker (a “disabled contract worker”)— a in the terms on which he allows him to do that work; b by not allowing him to do it or continue to do it; c in the way he affords him access to any benefits or by refusing or deliberately omitting to afford him access to them; or d by subjecting him to any other detriment. 2 It is also unlawful for a principal, in relation to contract work, to subject a disabled contract worker to harassment. 3 Subsection (1) does not apply to benefits of any description if the principal is concerned with the provision (whether or not for payment) of benefits of that description to the public, or to a section of the public which includes the contract worker in question, unless that provision differs in a material respect from the provision of the benefits by the principal to contract workers. 4 This subsection applies to a disabled contract worker where, by virtue of— a a provision, criterion or practice applied by or on behalf of all or most of the principals to whom he is or might be supplied, or b a physical feature of premises occupied by such persons, he is likely, on each occasion when he is supplied to a principal to do contract work, to be placed at a substantial disadvantage in comparison with persons who are not disabled which is the same or similar in each case. 5 Where subsection (4) applies to a disabled contract worker, his employer must take such steps as he would have to take under section 4A if the provision, criterion or practice were applied by him or on his behalf or (as the case may be) if the premises were occupied by him. 6 Section 4A applies to any principal, in relation to contract work, as if he were, or would be, the employer of the disabled contract worker and as if any contract worker supplied to do work for him were an employee of his. 7 However, for the purposes of section 4A as applied by subsection (6), a principal is not required to take a step in relation to a disabled contract worker if under that section the disabled contract worker’s employer is required to take the step in relation to him. 8 This section applies only in relation to contract work done at an establishment in Great Britain (the provisions of section 68 about the meaning of “employment at an establishment in Great Britain” applying for the purposes of this subsection with the appropriate modifications). 9 In this section— “principal” means a person (“A”) who makes work available for doing by individuals who are employed by another person who supplies them under a contract made with A; “contract work” means work so made available; and “contract worker” means any individual who is supplied to the principal under such a contract.

Trade organisations: duty to make adjustments 14   1 Where— a a provision, criterion or practice applied by or on behalf of a trade organisation, or b any physical feature of premises occupied by the organisation, places the disabled person concerned at a substantial disadvantage in comparison with persons who are not disabled, it is the duty of the organisation to take such steps as it is reasonable, in all the circumstances of the case, for it to have to take in order to prevent the provision, criterion or practice, or feature, having that effect. 2 In this section “the disabled person concerned” means— a in the case of a provision, criterion or practice for determining to whom membership should be offered, any disabled person who is, or has notified the organisation that he may be, an applicant for membership; b in any other case, a disabled person who is— i a member of the organisation, or ii an applicant for membership of the organisation. 3 Nothing in this section imposes any duty on an organisation in relation to a disabled person if the organisation does not know, and could not reasonably be expected to know— a in the case of an applicant or potential applicant, that the disabled person concerned is, or may be, an applicant for membership of the organisation; or b in any case, that that person has a disability and is likely to be affected in the way mentioned in subsection (1). Qualifications bodies: discrimination and harassment 14A   1 It is unlawful for a qualifications body to discriminate against a disabled person— a in the arrangements which it makes for the purpose of determining upon whom to confer a professional or trade qualification; b in the terms on which it is prepared to confer a professional or trade qualification on him; c by refusing or deliberately omitting to grant any application by him for such a qualification; or d by withdrawing such a qualification from him or varying the terms on which he holds it. 2 It is also unlawful for a qualifications body, in relation to a professional or trade qualification conferred by it, to subject to harassment a disabled person who holds or applies for such a qualification. 3 In determining for the purposes of subsection (1) whether the application by a qualifications body of a competence standard to a disabled person constitutes discrimination within the meaning of section 3A, the application of the standard is justified for the purposes of section 3A(1)(b) if, but only if, the qualifications body can show that— a the standard is, or would be, applied equally to persons who do not have his particular disability; and b its application is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim. 4 For the purposes of subsection (3)— a section 3A(2) (and (6)) does not apply; and b section 3A(4) has effect as if the reference to section 3A(3) were a reference to subsection (3) of this section. 5 In this section and section 14B— “qualifications body” means any authority or body which can confer a professional or trade qualification, but it does not include— a responsible body (within the meaning of Chapter 1 or 2 of Part 4), a local education authority in England or Wales, or an education authority (within the meaning of section 135(1) of the Education (Scotland) Act 1980); “confer” includes renew or extend; “professional or trade qualification” means an authorisation, qualification, recognition, registration, enrolment, approval or certification which is needed for, or facilitates engagement in, a particular profession or trade; “competence standard” means an academic, medical or other standard applied by or on behalf of a qualifications body for the purpose of determining whether or not a person has a particular level of competence or ability. Qualifications bodies: duty to make adjustments 14B   1 Where— a a provision, criterion or practice, other than a competence standard, applied by or on behalf of a qualifications body; or b any physical feature of premises occupied by a qualifications body, places the disabled person concerned at a substantial disadvantage in comparison with persons who are not disabled, it is the duty of the qualifications body to take such steps as it is reasonable, in all the circumstances of the case, for it to have to take in order to prevent the provision, criterion or practice, or feature, having that effect. 2 In this section “the disabled person concerned” means— a in the case of a provision, criterion or practice for determining on whom a professional or trade qualification is to be conferred, any disabled person who is, or has notified the qualifications body that he may be, an applicant for the conferment of that qualification; b in any other case, a disabled person who— i holds a professional or trade qualification conferred by the qualifications body, or ii applies for a professional or trade qualification which it confers. 3 Nothing in this section imposes a duty on a qualifications body in relation to a disabled person if the body does not know, and could not reasonably be expected to know— a in the case of an applicant or potential applicant, that the disabled person concerned is, or may be, an applicant for the conferment of a professional or trade qualification; or b in any case, that that person has a disability and is likely to be affected in the way mentioned in subsection (1). Practical work experience Practical work experience: discrimination and harassment 14C   1 It is unlawful, in the case of a disabled person seeking or undertaking a work placement, for a placement provider to discriminate against him— a in the arrangements which he makes for the purpose of determining who should be offered a work placement; b in the terms on which he affords him access to any work placement or any facilities concerned with such a placement; c by refusing or deliberately omitting to afford him such access; d by terminating the placement; or e by subjecting him to any other detriment in relation to the placement. 2 It is also unlawful for a placement provider, in relation to a work placement, to subject to harassment— a a disabled person to whom he is providing a placement; or b a disabled person who has applied to him for a placement. 3 This section and section 14D do not apply to— a anything made unlawful by section 4 or any provision of Part 3 or 4; or b anything which would be unlawful under that section or any such provision but for the operation of any other provision of this Act. 4 In this section and section 14D— “work placement” means practical work experience undertaken for a limited period for the purposes of a person’s vocational training; “placement provider” means any person who provides a work placement to a person whom he does not employ. 5 This section and section 14D do not apply to a work placement undertaken in any of the naval, military and air forces of the Crown. Practical work experience: duty to make adjustments 14D   1 Where— a a provision, criterion or practice applied by or on behalf of a placement provider, or b any physical feature of premises occupied by the placement provider, places the disabled person concerned at a substantial disadvantage in comparison with persons who are not disabled, it is the duty of the placement provider to take such steps as it is reasonable, in all the circumstances of the case, for him to have to take in order to prevent the provision, criterion or practice, or feature, having that effect. 2 In this section, “the disabled person concerned” means— a in the case of a provision, criterion or practice for determining to whom a work placement should be offered, any disabled person who is, or has notified the placement provider that he may be, an applicant for that work placement; b in any other case, a disabled person who is— i an applicant for the work placement concerned, or ii undertaking a work placement with the placement provider. 3 Nothing in this section imposes any duty on a placement provider in relation to the disabled person concerned if he does not know, and could not reasonably be expected to know— a in the case of an applicant or potential applicant, that the disabled person concerned is, or may be, an applicant for the work placement; or b in any case, that that person has a disability and is likely to be affected in the way mentioned in subsection (1). . Alterations to premises occupied under leases 14 1 Omit the cross-heading preceding section 16 (alterations to premises occupied under leases). 2 Move section 16 to follow section 18 and renumber it as section 18A. 3 In that section— a in subsection (1)(a), for “an employer or trade organisation” substitute “a person to whom a duty to make reasonable adjustments applies”; b in subsection (1)(c), for “a section 6 duty or section 15 duty” substitute “that duty”. Other unlawful acts 15 1 After section 16, insert the following sections— Other unlawful acts Relationships which have come to an end 16A   1 This section applies where— a there has been a relevant relationship between a disabled person and another person (“the relevant person”), and b the relationship has come to an end. 2 In this section a “relevant relationship” is— a a relationship during the course of which an act of discrimination against, or harassment of, one party to the relationship by the other party to it is unlawful under any preceding provision of this Part; or b a relationship between a person providing employment services (within the meaning of Part 3) and a person receiving such services. 3 It is unlawful for the relevant person— a to discriminate against the disabled person by subjecting him to a detriment, or b to subject the disabled person to harassment, where the discrimination or harassment arises out of and is closely connected to the relevant relationship. 4 This subsection applies where— a a provision, criterion or practice applied by the relevant person to the disabled person in relation to any matter arising out of the relevant relationship, or b a physical feature of premises which are occupied by the relevant person, places the disabled person at a substantial disadvantage in comparison with persons who are not disabled, but are in the same position as the disabled person in relation to the relevant person. 5 Where subsection (4) applies, it is the duty of the relevant person to take such steps as it is reasonable, in all the circumstances of the case, for him to have to take in order to prevent the provision, practice or criterion, or feature, having that effect. 6 Nothing in subsection (5) imposes any duty on the relevant person if he does not know, and could not reasonably be expected to know, that the disabled person has a disability and is likely to be affected in the way mentioned in that subsection. 7 In subsection (2), reference to an act of discrimination or harassment which is unlawful includes, in the case of a relationship which has come to an end before the commencement of this section, reference to such an act which would, after the commencement of this section, be unlawful. Discriminatory advertisements 16B   1 It is unlawful for a person, in relation to a relevant appointment or benefit which he intends to make or confer, to publish or cause to be published an advertisement which— a invites applications for that appointment or benefit; and b indicates, or might reasonably be understood to indicate, that an application will or may be determined to any extent by reference to— i the applicant not having any disability, or any particular disability, or ii any reluctance of the person determining the application to comply with a duty to make reasonable adjustments or (in relation to employment services) with the duty imposed by section 21(1) as modified by section 21A(6). 2 Subsection (1) does not apply where it would not in fact be unlawful under this Part or, to the extent that it relates to the provision of employment services, Part 3 for an application to be determined in the manner indicated (or understood to be indicated) in the advertisement. 3 In subsection (1), “relevant appointment or benefit” means— a any employment, promotion or transfer of employment; b membership of, or a benefit under, an occupational pension scheme; c an appointment to any office or post to which section 4D applies; d any partnership in a firm (within the meaning of section 6A); e any tenancy or pupillage (within the meaning of section 7A or 7C); f any membership of a trade organisation (within the meaning of section 13); g any professional or trade qualification (within the meaning of section 14A); h any work placement (within the meaning of section 14C); i any employment services (within the meaning of Part 3). 4 In this section, “advertisement” includes every form of advertisement or notice, whether to the public or not.

Enforcement of sections 16B and 16C; validity of contracts, collective agreements and rules of undertakings 16 1 After section 17A (enforcement), the former section 8 moved, renumbered and amended by regulation 9, insert the following sections— Enforcement of sections 16B and 16C 17B   1 Only the Disability Rights Commission may bring proceedings in respect of a contravention of section 16B (discriminatory advertisements) or section 16C (instructions and pressure to discriminate). 2 The Commission shall bring any such proceedings in accordance with subsection (3) or (4). 3 The Commission may present to an employment tribunal a complaint that a person has done an act which is unlawful under section 16B or 16C; and if the tribunal finds that the complaint is well-founded it shall make a declaration to that effect. 4 Where— a a tribunal has made a finding pursuant to subsection (3) that a person has done an act which is unlawful under section 16B or 16C, b that finding has become final, and c it appears to the Commission that, unless restrained, he is likely to do a further act which is unlawful under that section, the Commission may apply to a county court for an injunction, or (in Scotland) to a sheriff court for an interdict, restraining him from doing such an act; and the court, if satisfied that the application is well-founded, may grant the injunction or interdict in the terms applied for or in more limited terms. 5 A finding of a tribunal under subsection (3) in respect of any act shall, if it has become final, be treated as conclusive by a county court or sheriff court upon an application under subsection (4). 6 A finding of a tribunal becomes final for the purposes of this section when an appeal against it is dismissed, withdrawn or abandoned or when the time for appealing expires without an appeal having been brought. 7 An employment tribunal shall not consider a complaint under subsection (3) unless it is presented before the end of the period of six months beginning when the act to which it relates was done; and a county court or sheriff court shall not consider an application under subsection (4) unless it is made before the end of the period of five years so beginning. 8 A court or tribunal may consider any such complaint or application which is out of time if, in all the circumstances of the case, it considers that it is just and equitable to do so. 9 The provisions of paragraph 3(3) and (4) of Schedule 3 apply for the purposes of subsection (7) as they apply for the purposes of paragraph 3(1) of that Schedule.

The following is the new Schedule inserted in the 1995 Act after Schedule 3. SCHEDULE 3A VALIDITY OF CONTRACTS, COLLECTIVE AGREEMENTS AND RULES OF UNDERTAKINGS Section 17C Part 1 VALIDITY AND REVISION OF CONTRACTS 1   1 A term of a contract is void where— a the making of the contract is, by reason of the inclusion of the term, unlawful by virtue of this Part of this Act; b it is included in furtherance of an act which is unlawful by virtue of this Part of this Act; or c it provides for the doing of an act which is unlawful by virtue of this Part of this Act. 2 Sub-paragraph (1) does not apply to a term the inclusion of which constitutes, or is in furtherance of, or provides for, unlawful discrimination against, or harassment of, a party to the contract, but the term shall be unenforceable against that party. 3 A term in a contract which purports to exclude or limit any provision of this Part of this Act is unenforceable by any person in whose favour the term would operate apart from this paragraph. 4 Sub-paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) apply whether the contract was entered into before or after the date on which this Schedule comes into force; but in the case of a contract made before that date, those sub-paragraphs do not apply in relation to any period before that date. 2   1 Paragraph 1(3) does not apply— a to a contract settling a complaint to which section 17A(1) or 25(8) applies where the contract is made with the assistance of a conciliation officer (within the meaning of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992); or b to a contract settling a complaint to which section 17A(1) or 25(8) applies if the conditions regulating compromise contracts under this Schedule are satisfied in relation to the contract. 2 The conditions regulating compromise contracts under this Schedule are that— a the contract must be in writing; b the contract must relate to the particular complaint; c the complainant must have received advice from a relevant independent adviser as to the terms and effect of the proposed contract and in particular its effect on his ability to pursue a complaint before an employment tribunal; d there must be in force, when the adviser gives the advice, a contract of insurance, or an indemnity provided for members of a profession or professional body, covering the risk of a claim by the complainant in respect of loss arising in consequence of the advice; e the contract must identify the adviser; and f the contract must state that the conditions regulating compromise contracts under this Schedule are satisfied. 3 A person is a relevant independent adviser for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2)(c)— a if he is a qualified lawyer; b if he is an officer, official, employee or member of an independent trade union who has been certified in writing by the trade union as competent to give advice and as authorised to do so on behalf of the trade union; or c if he works at an advice centre (whether as an employee or a volunteer) and has been certified in writing by the centre as competent to give advice and as authorised to do so on behalf of the centre. 4 But a person is not a relevant independent adviser for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2)(c) in relation to the complainant— a if he is, is employed by or is acting in the matter for the other party or a person who is connected with the other party; b in the case of a person within sub-paragraph (3)(b) or (c), if the trade union or advice centre is the other party or a person who is connected with the other party; or c in the case of a person within sub-paragraph (3)(c), if the complainant makes a payment for the advice received from him. 5 In sub-paragraph (3)(a) “qualified lawyer” means— a as respects England and Wales, a barrister (whether in practice as such or employed to give legal advice), a solicitor who holds a practising certificate, or a person other than a barrister or solicitor who is an authorised advocate or authorised litigator (within the meaning of the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990); and b as respects Scotland, an advocate (whether in practice as such or employed to give legal advice), or a solicitor who holds a practising certificate. 6 In sub-paragraph (3)(b) “independent trade union” has the same meaning as in the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. 7 For the purposes of sub-paragraph (4)(a) any two persons are to be treated as connected— a if one is a company of which the other (directly or indirectly) has control; or b if both are companies of which a third person (directly or indirectly) has control. 8 An agreement under which the parties agree to submit a dispute to arbitration— a shall be regarded for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(a) and (b) as being a contract settling a complaint if— i the dispute is covered by a scheme having effect by virtue of an order under section 212A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992, and ii the agreement is to submit it to arbitration in accordance with the scheme; but b shall be regarded as neither being nor including such a contract in any other case. 3   1 On the application of a disabled person interested in a contract to which paragraph 1(1) or (2) applies, a county court or a sheriff court may make such order as it thinks fit for— a removing or modifying any term rendered void by paragraph 1(1), or b removing or modifying any term made unenforceable by paragraph 1(2); but such an order shall not be made unless all persons affected have been given notice in writing of the application (except where under rules of court notice may be dispensed with) and have been afforded an opportunity to make representations to the court. 2 An order under sub-paragraph (1) may include provision as respects any period before the making of the order (but after the coming into force of this Schedule). Part 2 COLLECTIVE AGREEMENTS AND RULES OF UNDERTAKINGS 4   1 This Part of this Schedule applies to— a any term of a collective agreement, including an agreement which was not intended, or is presumed not to have been intended, to be a legally enforceable contract; b any rule made by an employer for application to all or any of the persons who are employed by him or who apply to be, or are, considered by him for employment; c any rule made by a trade organisation (within the meaning of section 13) or a qualifications body (within the meaning of section 14A) for application to— i all or any of its members or prospective members; or ii all or any of the persons on whom it has conferred authorisations or qualifications or who are seeking the authorisations or qualifications which it has power to confer. 2 Any term or rule to which this Part of this Schedule applies is void where— a the making of the collective agreement is, by reason of the inclusion of the term, unlawful by virtue of this Part of this Act; b the term or rule is included in furtherance of an act which is unlawful by virtue of this Part of this Act; or c the term or rule provides for the doing of an act which is unlawful by virtue of this Part of this Act. 3 Sub-paragraph (2) applies whether the agreement was entered into, or the rule made, before or after the date on which this Schedule comes into force; but in the case of an agreement entered into, or a rule made, before the date on which this Schedule comes into force, that sub-paragraph does not apply in relation to any period before that date. 5 A disabled person to whom this paragraph applies may present a complaint to an employment tribunal that a term or rule is void by virtue of paragraph 4 if he has reason to believe— a that the term or rule may at some future time have effect in relation to him; and b where he alleges that it is void by virtue of paragraph 4(2)(c), that— i an act for the doing of which it provides, may at some such time be done in relation to him, and ii the act would be unlawful by virtue of this Part of this Act if done in relation to him in present circumstances. 6 In the case of a complaint about— a a term of a collective agreement made by or on behalf of— i an employer, ii an organisation of employers of which an employer is a member, or iii an association of such organisations of one of which an employer is a member, or b a rule made by an employer within the meaning of paragraph 4(1)(b), paragraph 5 applies to any disabled person who is, or is genuinely and actively seeking to become, one of his employees. 7 In the case of a complaint about a rule made by an organisation or body to which paragraph 4(1)(c) applies, paragraph 5 applies to any disabled person— a who is, or is genuinely and actively seeking to become, a member of the organisation or body; b on whom the organisation or body has conferred an authorisation or qualification; or c who is genuinely and actively seeking an authorisation or qualification which the organisation or body has power to confer. 8   1 When an employment tribunal finds that a complaint presented to it under paragraph 5 is well-founded the tribunal shall make an order declaring that the term or rule is void. 2 An order under sub-paragraph (1) may include provision as respects any period before the making of the order (but after the coming into force of this Schedule). 9 The avoidance by virtue of paragraph 4(2) of any term or rule which provides for any person to be discriminated against shall be without prejudice to the following rights (except in so far as they enable any person to require another person to be treated less favourably than himself), namely— a such of the rights of the person to be discriminated against, and b such of the rights of any person who will be treated more favourably in direct or indirect consequence of the discrimination, as are conferred by or in respect of a contract made or modified wholly or partly in pursuance of, or by reference to, that term or rule. Part 3 INTERPRETATION 10 In this Schedule “collective agreement” means any agreement relating to one or more of the matters mentioned in section 178(2) of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 (meaning of trade dispute), being an agreement made by or on behalf of one or more employers or one or more organisations of employers or associations of such organisations with one or more organisations of workers or associations of such organisations. 11 Any reference in this Schedule to a contract or act which is unlawful by virtue of this Part of this Act shall be taken to include a reference to a contract or act which is unlawful by virtue of Part 3 of this Act to the extent that it relates to the provision of employment services. .

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations implement (in Great Britain) provisions of Council Directive 2000/78/EC (OJ No. L 303, 2.12.2000, p.16) establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation (“the Directive”), so far as it relates to disability discrimination. For this purpose, they amend the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (c. 50) (“the Act”) and make minor or consequential amendments to other legislation.

Regulations 4 to 18 insert new sections into, and amend existing provisions of, Part 2 of the Act (which concerns discrimination in the employment field): • New sections 3A and 3B provide (respectively) for a definition of “discrimination” and “harassment” applying to the whole of Part 2. (Regulation 4) • New sections 4 and 4A (replacing existing sections 4 to 6) prohibit discrimination and harassment by employers and impose on employers a duty to make reasonable adjustments. New section 4B (replacing existing section 12) prohibits discrimination against, and harassment of, contract workers and makes provision about the making of reasonable adjustments for such workers. New sections 4C to 4F prohibit discrimination against, and harassment of, certain types of office-holders, and require reasonable adjustments to be made for them.

(Regulation 6) • Existing section 7 of the Act (exemption for small businesses) is repealed. (Regulation 7) • New sections 7A to 7D relate to barristers (England and Wales) and advocates (Scotland). They prohibit discrimination and harassment, and impose duties to make reasonable adjustments.

It is also renumbered as section 17A. (Regulation 9) • Existing section 9 (validity of certain agreements), section 11 (advertisements) and section 12 (contract workers) are repealed in consequence of their replacement by new provisions; and existing section 10 (charities) is moved and renumbered as section 18C. (Regulations 10 to 12) • New sections 13 and 14 (replacing existing sections 13 to 15) prohibit discrimination and harassment, and impose duties to make reasonable adjustments, in relation to trade organisations. New sections 14A to 14D prohibit discrimination and harassment, and impose duties to make reasonable adjustments, in relation to qualifications bodies and persons who provide work placements. (Regulation 13) • Consequential amendments are made to existing section 16 (alterations to premises occupied under leases), which is also moved and renumbered as section 18A. (Regulation 14) • New section 16A prohibits discrimination and harassment, and imposes duties to make reasonable adjustments in relationships which have come to an end; new section 16B prohibits employers and others from publishing or causing to be published advertisements which indicate an intention to discriminate; and new section 16C prohibits instructions and pressure to discriminate. (Regulation 15) • New section 17B provides for the Disability Rights Commission to enforce sections 16B (discriminatory advertisements) and 16C (instructions and pressure to discriminate); and new section 17C and new Schedule 3A deal with validity of certain agreements and rules of undertakings etc (replacing existing section 9). (Regulation 16) • New section 18B makes supplementary provision about the duties to make reasonable adjustments contained in Part 2 of the Act; and new section 18D provides for the interpretation of Part 2. (Regulations 17 and 18)

Regulation 19 amends Part 3 of the Act (which concerns discrimination in relation to goods, facilities and services, and the disposal of premises) in relation to the provision of employment services. It inserts new section 21A to prohibit harassment and to modify the application of sections 19 to 21 of the Act in relation to such services, and makes consequential amendments to section 25 (enforcement) and section 26 (validity and revision of certain agreements).

Regulations 20 to 23 amend Part 7 of the Act (supplemental): • Minor or consequential amendments are made to section 53A (codes of practice) and section 55 (victimisation). (Regulations 20 and 21) • Section 56 (help for persons suffering discrimination) is amended so as to substitute a period of eight weeks (instead of a “reasonable period”) within which a respondent is to reply to a questionnaire (without a reasonable excuse for deliberate failure to do so) under the Act in order to avoid the drawing of adverse inferences by an Employment Tribunal. (Regulation 22) • Section 59 (statutory authority and national security etc) is amended, in relation to Part 2 of the Act (and Part 3 thereof, insofar as it relates to employment services) to provide that acts done for the purpose of safeguarding national security are not unlawful if the doing of the act was justified by that purpose. (Regulation 23)

Regulations 24 to 26 amend Part 8 of the Act (miscellaneous): • In section 64 (application to Crown etc), a new subsection (2A) is inserted in consequence of the new provisions on the police.

The exception for employment on board ships, aircraft or hovercraft is repealed. Minor or consequential amendments are made to the remainder of section 68. (Regulation 27)

Regulations 28 to 31 make minor or consequential amendments to section 70 of, and Schedules 2 to 4 to, the Act, the Disability Rights Commission Act 1999 (c. 17) and to other legislation.

The Regulations make provision for commencement on the day after they are made so far as enabling anything to be done for the purposes of preparing and bringing into force on or after 1st October 2004 a code of practice under section 53A of the Act concerning any provision of that Act as it will have effect on or after that date by virtue of these Regulations.

<dc:description>These Regulations implement (in Great Britain) provisions of Council Directive 2000/78/EC (OJ No. L 303, 2.12.2000, p.16) establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation (“the Directive”), so far as it relates to disability discrimination. For this purpose, they amend the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (c. 50) (“the Act”) and make minor or consequential amendments to other legislation.</dc:description>
