Section:	5	Heading:	Discrimination against a person who has family status	Version Date:	21/11/1997

A person discriminates against a person who has family status in any circumstances relevant for the purposes of any provision of this Ordinance if-

(a) on the ground of the second-mentioned person's family status or that person's particular family status ("the relevant family status") he treats that person less favourably than he treats or would treat another person who does not have family status or the relevant family status, as the case may be; or
(b) he applies to that person a requirement or condition which he applies or would apply equally to a person who does not have family status or the relevant family status, as the case may be, but-
(i) which is such that the proportion of persons with family status or the relevant family status, as the case may be, who can comply with it is considerably smaller than the proportion of persons who does not have family status or the relevant family status who can comply with it;
(ii) which he cannot show to be justifiable irrespective of whether or not the person to whom it is applied has family status or the relevant family status, as the case may be; and
(iii) which is to that person's detriment because he cannot comply with it.
