Enforcement

Abstract

This chapter describes Part 9 of the Equality Act 2010. Part 9 sets out the procedure for seeking redress for contraventions of the Act. The Act deals separately with the civil courts procedure in relation to the provision of services, exercise of public functions, disposal and management of premises, education (other than in relation to disability) and associations, and the procedure of the employment tribunal in relation to work and equal pay. Although Part 9 does not deal with the enforcement powers of the Equality and Human Rights Commission which are set out in Part 1 of the Equality Act 2006, these are summarized for completeness. Part 10 is also included in respect of the enforcement of discriminatory terms in contracts and agreements.
