Who can be held accountable for age discrimination
An employer, public body, service provider or association can be held accountable for the conduct of their employees which gives rise to claims against these businesses or organisations.
Commonly, cases involving age discrimination include claims for direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, harassment and/or victimisation.
We have represented a number of younger and older clients who have brought claims in the employment tribunal and County Court because they have been dismissed or treated less favourably by their employers, prospective employers or service providers and such treatment has been directly or indirectly linked with their age.
Associative age discrimination
Age discrimination can also take place if a person is treated less favourably because of their association with a family member of a particular age group, (for example if they are acting as a carer for an elderly relative).
Our employment and civil discrimination solicitors can pursue and defend age discrimination cases on a nationwide basis and provide a high quality service for their clients, working hard to achieve the best possible results in cases that involve age discrimination both in the workplace and within the course of day to day life.
