Book Description
This book seeks to rebalance the relationship between comparison and justification to achieve more effective equality and non-discrimination law. As one of the most distinguished equality lawyers of his generation, having appeared in over 40 cases in the House of Lords and the Supreme Court and many leading cases in the Court of Justice, Robin Allen QC is well placed to explore this critical issue. He shows how the principle of equality is nothing if not founded on apt comparisons. By examining the changing way men and women's work has been compared over the last 100 years he shows the importance of understanding the framework for comparison. With these insights, he addresses contemporary problems of age discrimination and conflict of equality rights.

Book Description
This book examines the concept of intersectional discrimination and why it has been difficult for jurisdictions around the world to redress it in discrimination law. 'Intersectionality' was coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989. Thirty years since its conception, the term has become a buzzword in sociology, anthropology, feminist studies, psychology, literature, and politics. But it remains marginal in the discourse of discrimination law, where it was first conceived. Traversing its long and rich history of development, the book explains what intersectionality is as a theory and as a category of discrimination. It then explains what it takes for discrimination law to be reimagined from the perspective of intersectionality in reference to comparative laws in the US, UK, South Africa, Canada, India, and the jurisprudence of the European Courts (CJEU and ECtHR) and international human rights treaty bodies.

Book Description
Equality in law between men and women in the European Community is an integral part of the EC's social policy and crucial to its economic and social cohesion. This 15-Volume Encyclopedia analyses the legal framework for equal opportunities which now exists in the Community due to the adoption of EC Directives on equal treatment, equal pay and social security, and to the work of the European Court of Justice in this area. It looks at how the EC Directives have been implemented and interpreted in each Member State, and at the other legislative and constitutional provisions affecting the principle of equality. All the principal legal provisions are reproduced or translated. Extracts from or digests of national case law are also included. Each volume is structured so that Member States's provisions on equality can be directly compared. The editors of this Encyclopedia are Michel Verwilghen, Professeur ordinaire à la Faculté de Droit, Université catholique de Louvain, and Ferdinand von Prondzynski, Professor of Law and Dean of the Law School, University of Hull.

Book Description
"This book is about making comparisons appropriately, and then following through on their consequences. I believe this to be important for two main reasons. First, making an appropriate comparison is the key to resolving most disputes about equality. Secondly, looking to find that key is an essential task, even if it is often an elusive one. This is because all modern democratic societies must take equality very seriously if they are to survive. Throughout 45 years of professional working life as a barrister I have been engaged in this search, in case after case, and in respect of all the protected characteristics. The search for this key in any particular context has often proved to be difficult and contentious. The search is nonetheless always an intriguing process that has often involved the views of many different people beyond just lawyers and jurists, such as politicians, commissions, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and activists of all kinds. The Hamlyn Trustees' invitation to give the 2018 Hamlyn Lectures was completely unexpected. It was, however, very welcome indeed. I saw it as an opportunity to collect and order what I have learnt about this search. I hoped I might be able to provide some signposts for the next stages of this search. I am therefore greatly indebted to the Trustees for the honour they have done me. It has been a challenge to undertake the task I set myself, but it has alwaysfelt worthwhile; not least because it has forced me to clarify and seek to systematise what I have learnt. I hope that these lectures and this book will repay that honour and go some way to illuminate how these discussions could develop in the future, as equality law evolves yet further"--

Book Description
The domestic law concerning discrimination is currently contained in five separate Acts and four sets of principal regulations, reflecting no less than six main EU Directives. The Equality Act 2010 will harmonise the law relating to equality and discrimination, and will replace all existing anti- discrimination law once in force. The Act contains a number of provisions to support progress on equality, by: * introducing a public sector duty regarding socio-economic inequalities * empowering ministers to add caste to the definition of race * prohibiting discrimination arising from disability and outlawing enquiries about disability and health * extending indirect discrimination to disability * introducing combined discrimination based on dual characteristics * dealing with reasonable adjustments to common parts of premises * creating new rights to claim equal pay as a form of direct sex or dual discrimination where there is no identifiable male comparator * rendering it unlawful to prohibit colleagues from talking about terms of employment with a view to checking whether there is prohibited discrimination * allowing political parties to take proportionate action in selection arrangements to address under-representation in elected bodies and requiring them to publish anonymised information on the diversity of candidate selections * extending the public sector equality duty to gender reassignment, age, religion or belief, and sexual orientation * extending the permitted use of positive action to all protected characteristics, and to recruitment and promotion * defining relevant types of work to which an equality clause or rule apply * recognising the reduction of pay inequality as a legitimate part of the material factor defence * enabling claims of direct sex discrimination or dual discrimination in relation to contractual pay in the absence of a comparator doing equal work * ensuring that there is greater transparency and dialogue within workplaces about pay * requiring private and voluntary sector employers of 250+ employees to publish information about gender-based pay differences * ensuring licensing authorities cannot refuse licences to wheelchair accessible vehicles on the grounds of controlling taxi numbers * excepting charities benefiting only people of the same age group or with the same disability * allowing exceptions from age discrimination in the provision of services and the exercise of public functions * reforming the law on family property and civil partnerships * ensuring the future harmonisation of the areas of the Act covered by EU law and those that are domestic in origin * making new provisions affecting information society services Equality and Discrimination - The New Law provides a thorough and practical analysis of the new Act, and places it in the context of the old law and suggests how the new law is likely to work in practice. It will be essential reading for all lawyers and professional advisers dealing with employment and discrimination matters, as well as central and local government departments; schools, colleges and universities and their users; private clubs and other associations; and transport providers. The full text of the Act is reproduced in full.

Book Description
A New Statesman Best Book of the Year A Church Times Book of the Year We are facing a crisis of civility, a war of words polluting our public sphere. In liberal democracies committed to tolerating active, often heated disagreement, the loss of this virtue appears critical. Most modern appeals to civility follow arguments by Hobbes or Locke by proposing to suppress disagreement or exclude views we deem “uncivil” for the sake of social harmony. By comparison, mere civility—a grudging conformity to norms of respectful behavior—as defended by Rhode Island’s founder, Roger Williams, might seem minimal and unappealing. Yet Teresa Bejan argues that Williams’s outlook offers a promising path forward in confronting our own crisis, one that challenges our fundamental assumptions about what a tolerant—and civil—society should look like. “Penetrating and sophisticated.” —James Ryerson, New York Times Book Review “Would that more of us might learn to look into the past with such gravity and humility. We might end up with a more (or mere) civil society, yet.” —Los Angeles Review of Books “A deeply admirable book: original, persuasive, witty, and eloquent.” —Jacob T. Levy, Review of Politics “A terrific book—learned, vigorous, and challenging.” —Alison McQueen, Stanford University
