This is the third edition of a work which offers comprehensive coverage of the Equality Act 2010, alongside other relevant UK law and European Union law. The book goes beyond the previous editions by presenting a critical and theoretical analysis of equality law intended to equip the reader with an understanding of the enduring challenges that frame equality law and contemporary responses to those challenges.
Structured so as to be accessible to the student approaching discrimination law for the first time, the book is sufficiently detailed and analytical to appeal to the well-informed reader, and to provide those engaged in research with a solid base for further independent study. For the undergraduate student studying discrimination law as a free-standing subject or as part of a wider course, the book provides a one-stop shop; furthermore, this edition is also a challenging core text for any postgraduate discrimination law course.

...provides a valuable source of reference for others who may wish to research a rapidly growing area of the law that discrimination of all kinds has become. This is a very worthwhile textbook which should find a welcome place in the armoury of academics and researchers interested in the subject.

This is an impressive book which offers a valuable insight to the ever-expanding, increasingly complex world of discrimination law. The strengths of this book are many. First, it combines coverage of a wide range of material with detailed legal analysis. The author chooses her cases wisely Secondly, the author does not confine her coverage to judicial decisions: she draws on a wide range of material as well as placing her discussion at the heart of contemporary debate Thirdly, the book is accessible and well presented. It is also well written.
