If changes were made, we believe it could increase the number of blind and partially sighted people who are able to enforce their rights using the Equality Act.

We're delighted that last week the Ministry of Justice opened a Call for Evidence on Costs Protection for Discrimination Claims, running until 19 February 2025: www.gov.uk/government/c...
Costs protection for discrimination claims
This Call for Evidence seeks views on whether costs protection should be extended to discrimination claims in civil courts in England and Wales.

In the run up to the UK General Election, RNIB called on all parties to extend something called 'qualified one-way costs shifting' to apply to goods and services discrimination claims. This would be an important way to reduce the financial risk to the claimant.
