Commentary on Sections

Part 5: Work

Chapter 1: Employment, etc.
Section 45: Limited liability partnerships
Background

160.LLPs are distinct from general and limited partnerships, so separate provisions are needed to provide protection from discrimination, harassment and victimisation for their members. This section is designed to replicate the effect of provisions in previous legislation but also to achieve the same consistency in respect of race as is provided in section 44.
