Commentary on Sections Part 2: Discrimination on Grounds of Religion or Belief Section 77: Employment Equality Regulations
260.Section 77 is intended to ensure consistency, with regard to the definition of "religion or belief", between this Part and the Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/1660). It remains in accordance with the wording in Council Directive 2000/78/EC of 27th November 2000 establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment, as implemented by those regulations.
