Key Points

  • Discrimination can be directly against an individual.
  • Discrimination can be the indirect result of a more wide reaching provision, criterion or practice.
  • Direct age discrimination and indirect discrimination generally may be justifiable.
  • Motive in direct cases does not need to be established but context is important.
