Makes changes to the powers of industrial tribunals in certain cases under the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 and the Equal Pay Act 1970. S. 2 enables an industrial tribunal to award compensation to a person who has suffered indirect discrimination under Part II of the 1975 Act, even where the respondent did not intend to treat the claimant unfavourably on the ground of his or her sex or marital status, where it would not be just and equitable to grant other remedies alone. S. 3 alters the procedure for claims to equal pay for work of equal value. The Regulations implement Council Directives 1976/207/EEC and 1975/117/EEC respectively.
