Section 7: Discrimination by victimisation

7. Discrimination by victimisation (1) Subject to subsection (2), a person (“the discriminator”) discriminates by victimisation against another person (“the aggrieved person”) where he subjects or threatens to subject the aggrieved person to any detriment or where he treats the aggrieved person less favourably than in those circumstances he treats or would treat other persons, and does so— (a) on the ground that the aggrieved person— (i) has made, or proposes to make, a complaint against the discriminator or any other person under this Act; (ii) has brought, or proposes to bring proceedings under this Act against the discriminator or any other person; (iii) has furnished or proposes to furnish, any information or has produced, or proposes to produce a document to a person exercising or performing any power or function under this Act; (iv) has attended or proposes to attend an inquiry under this Act or to provide evidence or testimony as a witness; or (v) has made in good faith an allegation that the discriminator or any other person has committed an act of discrimination in contravention of this Act; or (b) on the ground that the discriminator believes that the aggrieved person has done or proposes to do any of the things referred to in paragraph (a). (2) Subsection (1) does not apply to the treatment of a person by reason of any allegation made by him where the allegation was false and not made in good faith.
