<p>We have no plans to implement the dual discrimination provision in the Act. We
believe that current protections are adequate and that enactment would introduce unwelcome
regulatory complexity and place new costly burdens on business and the public sector
consequent on the introduction of a further 21 protected characteristics. In addition,
an employee or service user may bring a discrimination claim under more than one ground,
which the courts can then consider consecutively, where appropriate.</p>
