‘Legal prohibitions on discrimination based upon certain characteristics have been part of UK domestic law for decades. The Foreword to the seminal book Monaghan on Equality Law started as follows:
“Equality”, wrote Rabinder Singh QC (as he then was) some time ago, is the “neglected virtue”. But it is not neglected now. At long last, we have the Equality Act 2010, which brings together the many separate laws against discrimination and tries to make them into a coherent whole. That is easier said than done. If equality is indeed a virtue, then it is a very complicated one.’
