This report explores the issue of unlawful discrimination, specifically focusing on the experiences of LGBT individuals in the workplace, particularly in the context of unfair dismissal. It begins by defining unlawful discrimination and highlighting the vulnerability of LGBT individuals to such practices. The report then delves into the relevant legislation, primarily the Equality Act 2010, which provides legal protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation, including direct and indirect discrimination, harassment, and victimization. It outlines the scope of the Act and the rights it confers upon LGBT individuals. Furthermore, the report examines case law, notably the case of Mr. B Plaistow v Secretary of State for Justice, to illustrate how these laws are applied in practice. The case study provides a detailed account of an employee who faced discrimination and unfair dismissal due to his sexual orientation. The report concludes by emphasizing the importance of the Equality Act 2010 in safeguarding the rights of the LGBT community and ensuring that employers are held accountable for any breaches of these rights. The report underscores that the LGBT community is entitled to the same rights as other people under the law and that any form of unlawful discrimination is not tolerable.
