Anti-discriminatory Legislation and Insurance Law - the Law Channel

Andrew Burns
2006

"There is now a huge range of statutory protection in force which is intended to promote equality and tackle unfair discrimination. In this programme Andrew Burns (Devereux Chambers) looks at the effect that this legislation has had on insurance provision. In particular, he considers proposals from the European Commission which may require insurance companies to apply gender neutrality to the way they calculate their insurance premiums; the need to ensure that premiums and insurance provisions do not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, disability or age; whether discrimination on genetic grounds is occurring; and possible litigation risks faced by insurers."
