Definition
Utmostcare Limited understands discrimination to mean the treatment of one person favourably over another. Discrimination may be direct or indirect. Direct discrimination is deliberate. Discrimination is indirect when an unnecessary condition or requirement is imposed, whether intentionally or inadvertently, such that the proportion of members of one group who can comply with it is considerably smaller than the proportion of other groups.
