What is this guide not about?

This guide is not primarily about litigation to meet one client’s needs, but about cases which can bring wholesale change to a policy, law or practice area that affects many.

Similarly, this guide provides information and advice to organisations, rather than individuals. If you as an individual have a legal problem around rights or equality, please see Resources for organisations to contact for advice.

This guide is specifically about litigation around equality and human rights.
​

Finally, this guide gives a general outline of the subject and does not replace professional legal advice.  ​
