This chapter moves away from identifying regulatory gaps and proposing reforms, and instead analyses how existing laws could provide an imperfect remedy for those who are not protected by anti-discrimination laws. Unfair dismissal options protect all workers against certain forms of dismissal.[1] This remedy seeks to address unfair contractual treatment and not discriminatory treatment. A positive element of these provisions is that there is no need to prove disability, or come out with a disability if it is invisible. This is a huge benefit for those who have a range of abilities which may not qualify as a disability under anti-discrimination laws, or who may desire not to identify as having a disability to themselves, their families or their employers.
