An employment tribunal has given the first UK ruling on indirect associative discrimination. Charles Pigott, professional support lawyer, Mills & Reeve, reports on a fascinating case, in this week’s NLJ

It is a landmark decision because it’s believed to be the first time a court has interpreted the definition of indirect discrimination in favour of claimants who are not themselves members of the relevant protected group.
