Substantive formal equality in EU non-discrimination law

Marc De Vos

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter explores standout CJEU cases that embrace substantive equality in direct and indirect discrimination. It explores how the CJEU has promoted substantive equality in cases of non-discriminatory differential treatment,
and through positive action or discrimination. It shows how formal EU equality law
has gradually been retooled towards substantive equality aims.
