| Annotation | The author reflects on the operation of the European Directive 2000/78 (Equal treatment in employment and occupation - Age discrimination - Dismissal by reason of retirement - Justification) and the UK's Age Discrimination Regulations, in the light of legal action taken by Age Concern England (ACE) to challenge the operational interpretation of several aspects of the EU Directive. The case came before the English High Court in 2007, and in July of that year was sent to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) which has now made its judgment. The author reflects upon this judgment which he opines does not fully support the Regulations to regulate robustly against age discrimination. The author is Chief Executive Officer of TAEN - The Age and Employment Network. The judgment can be viewed at the website link: http://curia.europa.eu/jurisp/cgi-bin/form.pl?lang... (KJ/RH) |
