Discrimination: A Guide to the Relevant Case Law 36th Edition

Key principles from thousands of discrimination case decisions summarised in one unique compendium.

Save time and effort with this popular synopsis of the key principles from thousands of discrimination cases showing the current approach of the courts to the range of problems of interpretation posed by the statutes. The 2023 edition of this unique publication formulates and organises more than 1,000 main principles from reported discrimination cases over the past 45 years that still can be regarded as binding authority.

The 36th edition takes account of the changes to the case law made by decisions reported in Industrial Relations Law Reports in 2022. The first part of the Guide is organised according to principles that are cross-strand (e.g. how the different ingredients in the definitions of direct and indirect discrimination, victimisation and harassment have been interpreted) with separate sections following on each protected characteristic, focusing on principles specific to that characteristic.
