Discrimination by other bodies
10 Partnerships.

in the arrangements they make for the purpose of determining who should be offered that position; or
b
in the terms on which they offer him that position; or
c
by refusing or deliberately omitting to offer him that position; or
d
in a case where the person already holds that position—
i
in the way they afford him access to any benefits, facilities or services, or by refusing or deliberately omitting to afford him access to them; or
ii
by expelling him from that position, or subjecting him to any other detriment.
2
Subsection (1) shall apply in relation to persons proposing to form themselves into a partnership as it applies in relation to a firm.
3
Subsection (1)(a) and (c) do not apply to a position as partner where, if it were employment, being of a particular racial group would be a genuine occupational qualification for the job.
4
In the case of a limited partnership references in this section to a partner shall be construed as references to a general partner as defined in section 3 of the M1Limited Partnerships Act 1907.
F15
This section applies to a limited liability partnership as it applies to a firm; and, in its application to a limited liability partnership, references to a partner in a firm are references to a member of the limited liability partnership.
