ABSTRACT
Note In most instances, decisions made by the courts under the Sex Discrimination Act (SDA) 1975 and under the Race Relations Act (RRA) 1976 are interchangeable and the same cases can be used, and are used, to interpret either act. The two Acts follow much the same pattern and use much the same terminology. Statements made with regard to the SDA will in general also apply to the RRA which will only be dealt with separately in so far as it differs from the SDA. A major difference is that the RRA is not currently subject to European law, although the Treaty of Amsterdam enables race to be made the subject of anti-discrimination measures.
