Directive 2000/78 required all EU Member States to ensure that, by the end of 2006 at the latest, reasonable accommodation obligations would operate to protect disabled people from unequal treatment in the context of employment. The new United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities will require ratifying States to impose such obligations in a broad range of situations. This book provides a detailed and critical analysis of the current and potential role of reasonable adjustment duties in British law. It explores the notion of the anticipatory reasonable adjustment duty - a notion which is, in many respects, distinctively British. It probes the relationship between reasonable adjustment and other concepts, including indirect discrimination and positive discrimination. Drawing particularly on US debates, potential sources of resistance to the duties are exposed and an attempt is made to suggest pre-emptive counter strategies. Attention is also given to issues of legal reform and rationalisation - issues of immense topicality and importance in view of the recent British move towards a single Equality Act. In short, this book examines the current and potential role of reasonable adjustment duties in Britain. It will be of interest to lawyers, policy-makers and students working in the field of disability rights. It will also be of interest to all those concerned with the operation and development of equality law and policy more generally, both in Britain and beyond."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 517 1 $aDisability & equality law in Britain 606 $aDiscrimination against people with disabilities$xLaw and legislation$zGreat Britain 606 $aDiscrimination in employment$xGovernment policy$zGreat Britain 606 $aPeople with disabilities$xCivil rights$zGreat Britain 606 $aPeople with disabilities$xLegal status, laws, etc$zGreat Britain 606 $2Employment & labour law 615 0$aDiscrimination against people with disabilities$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aDiscrimination in employment$xGovernment policy 615 0$aPeople with disabilities$xCivil rights 615 0$aPeople with disabilities$xLegal status, laws, etc. 676 $a342.41087 700 $aLawson$b Anna$01520050 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782805603321 996 $aDisability and equality law in Britain$93758503 997 $aUNINA
