2Discrimination by way of victimisation
(1)A person (" the discriminator ") discriminates against another person (" the person victimised ") in any circumstances relevant for the purposes of any provision of this Act if he treats the person victimised less favourably than in those circumstances he treats or would treat other persons, and does so by reason that the person victimised has—
(a)brought proceedings against the discriminator or any other person under this Act; or
(b)given evidence or information in connection with proceedings brought by any person against the discriminator or any other person under this Act; or
(c)otherwise done anything under or by reference to this Act in relation to the discriminator or any other person ; or
(d)alleged that the discriminator or any other person has committed an act which (whether or not the allegation so states) would amount to a contravention of this Act,
or by reason that the discriminator knows that the person victimised intends to do any of those things, or suspects that the person victimised has done, or intends to do, any of them.
(2)Subsection (1) does not apply to treatment of a person by reason of any allegation made by him if the allegation was false and not made in good faith.
