Breakout Session 2: Preventing and defending discrimination claims
Thursday 8 September (1130 - 1245)
Description
This session will present the differing ways that employers address and defend discrimination claims across jurisdictions. While discrimination may be illegal in most jurisdictions, differing regimes present different challenges in dealing with such claims. We will discuss how strategies should be determined based on various factors such as the burden of proof required, the type of tribunal or judicial process applicable, the nature of the claims and the remedies available.
