The Sex Discrimination Act 1975 (Amendment of section 43) Order 1977
This Order amends section 43 of the Sex Discrimination Act 1975. This section provides that nothing in Parts II to IV of the Act shall affect, or render unlawful an act done to give effect to, a “charitable instrument”; this expression is differently defined for England and Wales and for Scotland, having regard to differences in the law relating to charities. The definition for Scotland, however, is somewhat more restrictive than that for England and Wales, in particular, it does not cover a provision for charitable purposes contained in a will.
