Commentary on provisions of Act Section 4: Consequential amendments to the Equality Act 2006
Section 4 makes consequential amendments to Part 1 of the 2006 Act.
	Section 4(2) inserts new section 21(8) into the 2006 Act. It provides that an appeal may be made in the employment tribunal in respect of an unlawful act notice which relates to a breach of the employer duty (or an alleged breach of section 111 or 112 of the 2010 Act which relates to a breach of the employer duty).
	Section 4(3) inserts new paragraph (aa) into section 24A(1) of the 2006 Act. It allows the EHRC to take enforcement action against a breach of the employer duty even if the EHRC does not know or suspect that the breach has affected someone (see section 24A(2) of the 2006 Act). The same applies to a breach of section 111 (instructing, causing or inducing contraventions) or 112 (aiding contraventions) of the 2010 Act that relates to a breach of the employer duty.
