Proceeding contribution from Lord Lester of Herne Hill (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 19 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill [HL].


Equality Bill [HL]

My Lords, would I not be right in saying that if a worker brought a claim of discrimination and behaved unreasonably, he would not be able to succeed in that claim in any event? Does it not apply to any assertion of rights that the claimant must demonstrate that he is not abusing his rights? Therefore, the notion of not abusing your rights is also built into the notion of rights and duties
