Disability Discrimination Act 1995

Status:

There are multiple versions of this provision on screen. These apply to different geographical extents.

Status

The term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section.

Sometimes the text of a provision is changed, but the change(s) only apply to a particular geographical area. In some limited cases where this happens, the editorial team create a version for each different geographical area. Multiple versions are only created in this way where the change in question is a substitution so that there are different versions of the text for the different extents. Insertions and repeals of text do not give rise to such multiple versions.

Changes to legislation:

There are outstanding changes not yet made by the legislation.gov.uk editorial team to Disability Discrimination Act 1995. Any changes that have already been made by the team appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.
