DISCRIMINACION INDIRECTA [2 records]

Record 1 2023-07-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Rights and Freedoms
CONT

... in determining whether an individual or entity had practised discrimination under the relevant legislation, it was appropriate for the Court to consider "adverse effect discrimination" which may be described as the imposition of obligations, penalties or restrictive conditions that result from a policy or practice which is on its face neutral but which has a disproportionately negative effect on an individual or group because of a special characteristic of that individual or group.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droits et libertés
CONT

... pour déterminer si une personne morale ou physique s'est livrée à de la discrimination au sens de la loi pertinente, il convenait que la Cour examine la question de la «discrimination par suite d'un effet préjudiciable», qu'on peut définir comme l'imposition d'obligations, de peines ou de conditions restrictives résultant d'une politique ou d'une pratique qui est neutre à première vue, mais qui a un effet négatif disproportionné sur un individu ou un groupe d'individus en raison d'une caractéristique spéciale de cet individu ou de ce groupe d'individus.

  • Derechos y Libertades
CONT

Los cambios legales requieren ser reforzados con medidas administrativas y de tipo legal. Se dan, además, situaciones en que se aplica normas no discriminatorias, pero la interpretación que se hace de ellas genera diferencias, y es lo que se llama "discriminación indirecta".

Record 2 2012-01-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Law of Evidence
  • Courts
CONT

The use of statistical evidence in a jury trial poses specific problems for the parties and the attorneys. This is so in both civil and criminal cases. The effective communication of statistical evidence can be of critical importance to the jury's impression of the case. Statistical evidence in civil cases might involve business concepts, such as market share in an antitrust dispute or the analysis of the racial or age makeup of the workforce in an employment discrimination case.

CONT

A prima facie case established through statistical evidence may be rebutted either by evidence which offers a non-discriminatory explanation of the specific situation or by challenging the statistical evidence.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit de la preuve
  • Tribunaux
CONT

Une preuve prima facie établie au moyen de statistiques pourrait être réfutée soit par une preuve qui offre une explication non discriminatoire d'une situation particulière, soit par la contestation d'une preuve statistique.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Derecho probatorio
  • Tribunales
CONT

Un contenido exiguo porque [...] ni se reconoce la aplicación del principio de prueba o prueba prima facie o prueba de la verdad interina [...], ni aparece expresamente recogida la prueba estadística a los efectos de la prueba de discriminación indirecta.
