Disability Discrimination Act 2005 Explanatory Notes

Paragraph 40

237.Sub-paragraphs (2), (5) and (6) amend Schedule 4 (failure to obtain consent to an alteration to leased premises) so as to ensure that employment tribunals hear cases under section 25(8) to which section 27 applies (claims of discrimination involving alterations to leased premises occupied by a provider of employment services or group insurance). In particular, new paragraph 7A inserted into Schedule 4 by sub-paragraph (6) enables the tribunal to cause lessors to be joined as parties in certain circumstances.

238.Sub-paragraphs (3) and (4) extend the application of the provisions of Schedule 4 to premises leased by public authorities and associations (see sections 2 and 12 respectively).
