Discrimination laws provide that it is unlawful to discriminate against a worker because they are a civil partner or married.
In Dunn v Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management, the EAT held that a female worker could make a discrimination claim on the grounds of being married to a particular person (e.g. a work colleague).
However, a worker cannot make a discrimination claim on the grounds of their association with a married person [see para. 45 of the case transcript and para. 3.18 of the Code of Practice].
