Proceeding contribution from Lord Pannick (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 15 December 2011. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Marriages and Civil Partnerships (Approved Premises) (Amendment) Regulations 2011.
Marriages and Civil Partnerships (Approved Premises) (Amendment) Regulations 2011
As the noble Baroness knows very well, that case raised completely different issues. No specific provision in the Equality Act addressed that question. I have to declare an interest. As the noble Baroness well knows, I was the counsel who acted for the JFS, the Jewish Free School, in that litigation, and the problem was that there was no specific provision. By contrast, the Equality Act addresses this very question and it does so in the clearest possible terms.
