A private association introduces a membership rule requiring all applicants to have been UK residents for at least 15 years. An applicant from a minority background challenges this rule as being unfairly discriminatory under the Equality Act 2010. In response to this formal challenge, the association permanently bans the applicant from using its public café. Under the principle of treating others with fairness, which specific type of unlawful behavior has the association committed by banning the applicant from the café?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Victimisation

Cevap

Victimisation
The correct answer is victimisation. Under the Equality Act 2010, victimisation occurs when an individual is treated less favourably because they have taken action—such as making a complaint or a challenge—regarding discrimination. In this scenario, the ban from the café was a direct retaliation for the applicant's formal challenge, fitting the legal definition precisely.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the initial scenario
The association has a residency rule that likely constitutes indirect discrimination because it disadvantages certain groups based on national origin.
Understanding the context of the initial dispute is necessary to identify the subsequent legal violation.
2
Identify the 'protected act'
The applicant formally challenged the rule under the Equality Act 2010.
Retaliation is only classified as victimisation if it follows a protected act, such as making a discrimination claim.
3
Identify the retaliatory action
The association banned the applicant from the café specifically because of the challenge.
The motive for the less favourable treatment determines the specific type of discrimination.
4
Apply the legal definition from the Equality Act 2010
Treating someone poorly because they complained about discrimination is defined as victimisation.
This matches the specific legal categories defined in the 'Life in the UK' handbook.

Cevap: A sports club refusing to accept a new member because of their sexual orientation.

Cevap

A sports club refusing to accept a new member because of their sexual orientation is considered illegal discrimination.
The correct answer is correct because sexual orientation is explicitly listed as a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010. Refusing a service or membership based on this trait is a direct violation of the law regarding fair treatment.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

The Equality Act 2010.
This Act provides the legal framework that defines what constitutes unfair discrimination in areas like employment and services.
2
Recall the 'protected characteristics' listed in the Equality Act 2010.
The nine characteristics are age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage/civil partnership, pregnancy/maternity, race, religion/belief, sex, and sexual orientation.
Illegal discrimination only occurs when someone is treated less favorably because of one of these specific characteristics.
3
Evaluate each scenario against the list of protected characteristics and lawful exclusions.
The sports club scenario involves sexual orientation (a protected characteristic), while the others involve professional requirements, safety, or standard contracts.
This allows for the distinction between illegal prejudice and legitimate business or behavioral standards.
