[F1 References in Parts II [F2 , III and VA][F3 and Part III of the 2005 Order] to a disabled person are to be read as references to a person who has had a disability.]

Extent Information

E1 Following the repeal of this Act for E.W.S. by the Equality Act 2010, this provision now extends to N.I. only. Prior to that repeal, different versions of this provision had been created for N.I. and E.W.S. respectively to reflect the different amendment history for each jurisdiction. This version is based on the N.I. version as it stood at the date of the repeal. It does not reflect the history of E.W.S. effects prior to the 2010 repeal, which can be found in earlier versions.
