Individuals worldwide are discriminated for varied reasons like race, disability, religion, being transsexual or having different beliefs, these being known as protected characteristics. From the beginning, we mention that discrimination is against the law in the UK and individuals charged with such offences can be punished in accordance with the law. If you find yourself accused of discrimination or you are a discriminated person, it is suggested to talk to one of our criminal defence solicitors in London and understand your rights.
 

The legislation in the UK, in particular the Equality Act 2010 and Human Rights Act 1998, protects the rights of discriminated persons in education, as consumers, at work, when using public services or when acquiring assets in the country. The same law includes protection for persons who support someone’s claim regarding a discrimination. As for the cases when persons are accused of discrimination in an unfair manner, these are seriously taken into consideration. To avoid possible punishments in discrimination cases in the UK, a proper legal representation in front of the authorities is mandatory. Our criminal solicitor in London is able to provide you with legal support and advice if you have been accused of discrimination in the UK.
 

The discrimination comes in varied ways like direct, indirect discrimination or harassment. Victimization is also part of discrimination and involves someone who is treated in an unethical manner because he/she complained about harassment. Direct discrimination regards persons with protected characteristics treated less satisfactorily than other individuals. As for indirect discrimination, this situation involves certain rules which apply to everyone, but not a particular person, with the intention to offer difficulties. Our criminal lawyers in UK can represent offenders in front of the authorities if they are found guilty of discrimination.
