| Annotation | The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 is a first step toward removing discriminatory behaviour towards people with disabilities. This article considers the Act's definition of disability, and the fact that the Act has made it unlawful to discriminate against disabled people in the provision of goods and services, in selling or letting property, and in employment. The author concludes that the Act's achievements will be measured by the extent to which attitudes and practices are changed, bearing in mind loopholes in the way in which the Act defines disability.
