Discrimination

Dunn v Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management UKEAT/0531/10/DA, [2012] All ER (D) 173 (Feb)

Chief Constable of the Bedfordshire Constabulary v Graham [2002] IRLR 239 was authority for the proposition that a married person was protected by s 3 of the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 by reason of her being married to her husband. It followed that any person who was married, or in a civil partnership, was protected against discrimination on the ground of that relationship and on the ground of their relationship to the other partner. Any less favourable treatment which was marriage-specific was unlawful.
