SUMMARY
Disability Discrimination – Disability; Victimisation
Practice and Procedure – Striking-out-dismissal
Associative disability discrimination – whether covered by Framework Directive – whether DDA is capable of being read in conformity with Directive; if it is – whether reference to ECJ by ET was wrong in law.
HIS HONOUR JUDGE PETER CLARK
Preliminary
ECJ Reference
Should a reference be made?
"The next issue therefore is whether the wording of the DDA is acte claire either to accord with the Framework Directive or incapable of such construction."
