This report provides a comprehensive assessment of the principle of "equality before the law" within the UK legal system. It begins with an introduction to the concept and its significance, emphasizing the equal treatment of all individuals regardless of background. The main body delves into the complexities of this principle, highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses. The report acknowledges the legal framework that guarantees equal rights, as per Article 7 of Human Rights, but also identifies areas where inequalities persist. These include the challenges faced by asylum seekers, instances of gender-based discrimination, and disparities in the workplace. Specific examples are provided, such as the rejection of asylum claims based on religious grounds, the prevalence of domestic violence against women, and workplace discrimination. The report concludes by summarizing the key findings, emphasizing that while the UK legal system aims for equality, certain inequalities remain, particularly affecting vulnerable groups. The report uses various sources to support its arguments, including legal articles, journals, and online resources, to provide a well-rounded analysis of the subject.
