‘Both human rights law and discrimination law share a concern to ensure respect for the dignity and autonomy of individuals. Yet they pursue those shared values on parallel tracks through separate pieces of legislation – the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA 1998) and the Equality Act 2010 (EqA 2010). At the core of discrimination law is a comparison between the treatment of groups. The question is whether an individual suffered a disadvantage in comparison to others because of membership of a particular group. In contrast, human rights law asks whether there was an unjustifiable interference with an especially important protected interest of an individual. Because of this different focus and technique, they may reach opposite results.’
