| Title | Multiple Discrimination and EU Law: is a Horizontal Directive the Solution? |
| Summary | This thesis examines the capacity of EU law to address multiple discrimination, both in its current state and in light of ongoing reforms, in particular the adoption of the European Commission’s 2008 proposal for a Horizontal Directive. The thesis explores the primary and secondary sources of EU law to pinpoint the challenges and the opportunities presented by each in the context of multiple discrimination. A comparative legal analysis informed by the critical examination of EU anti-discrimination law is then used to assess the national statutory frameworks and case law produced in three EU Member States: Hungary, the United Kingdom and France. Through this analysis, the thesis identifies the most effective measures the EU could adopt to facilitate the fight against multiple discrimination. The thesis recommends an increased focus on non-binding instruments that are better suited to filling the gaps in national frameworks that evolve more rapidly than EU equality law. |
