Claims against bodies other than employers 




Claims of discrimination can be taken against bodies other than employers. Partnerships, trade unions, qualifying bodies, vocational training bodies, employment agencies and statutory bodies are all covered under the legislation. 




In Michalak v The General Medical Council & Others [2016] EWCA Civ 172, the EAT ruled that claims for unlawful discrimination can be brought in the employment tribunal against regulatory bodies such as the GMC.
