What is indirect discrimination and how to identify the right comparator? – Landmark Chambers

Posted July 30th, 2020 in EC law, equality, lectures, news by sally

‘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.’

What Do Judges Do In The Family Court? – Gresham College

Posted December 11th, 2017 in family courts, judges, lectures, news by sally

‘What do judges do in the Family Court? Follow me through a virtual week as a Roving Judge. Learn what goes on behind the scenes: how the family court room works and who is needed to make it work.

A judge’s approach to a case can fundamentally affect the way the parties perceive the trial as fair. What makes for a good judge? What training do they have? Do they properly reflect society’s makeup? Is diversity left at the red baize door and kept outside the corridors of power?’
