L & Anor v Ministry of Defence

It is not possible to interpret paragraph 4(3) of Schedule 9 or section 108 of the Equality Act 2010 so as to confer disability discrimination rights on current or former armed forces personnel. Such an interpretation would contradict the clear statutory language and longstanding legislative policy, and would amount to amendment rather than interpretation. The appeals are therefore dismissed.

  • Disability discrimination
  • Interpretation of statutes
  • Armed forces exception
  • Article 14 echr
  • Section 3 human rights act 1998
