Provides an authoritative and up-to-date analysis of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and how it operates in practice

The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 contains important rights and duties in respect of employment and occupations; trade organisations and qualifications bodies; the provision of goods and services; the disposal and management of premises; public transport; and education.

This invaluable reference deals with the developing body of law regulating disability discrimination for all those advising businesses and service providers, and those representing disabled people in court or tribunal proceedings. Uniquely this work includes coverage of different implementation of the Act in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, as well as in England or across the UK.

Disability Discrimination: Law and Practice provides an authoritative and up-to-date analysis of how this important legislation operates in practice.
