(March 30, 2008) - First reference to casebook on non-discrimination law by Advocate General. Advocate General Poiares Maduro has referred to the Ius Commune casebook on non-discrimination law in his Opinion on the Coleman case. The case concerned the question of whether the Employment Equality Directive (2000/78) protects people who, although not themselves disabled, suffer direct discrimination and/or harassment because they are associated with a person with a disability. The Advocate General advised the Court to find that the Directive does protect such individuals who experience discrimination by association. Referring to the casebook he stated:
"It has been pointed out in the literature on discrimination that no conclusive answer as to whether discrimination by association is prohibited flows from Article 13 EC and the directives that were adopted under it. However, it has been suggested that such discrimination will probably be treated as falling within the scope of the anti-discrimination directives."
