28IAJurisdiction and powers of the Tribunal – Wales

1

A claim that a responsible body for a school in Wales—

a

has discriminated against a person (“the relevant person”) in a way which is made unlawful under this Chapter, or

b

is by virtue of section 58 to be treated as having discriminated against the relevant person in such a way,

may be made to the Welsh Tribunal by that relevant person.

2

But this section does not apply to a claim to which section 28K or 28L applies.

3

The relevant person’s right to claim is exercisable concurrently with the right of the relevant person’s parent under section 28I.

4

If the Welsh Tribunal considers that a claim under subsection (1) is well founded—

a

it may declare that the relevant person has been unlawfully discriminated against, and

b

if it does so, it may make such order as it considers reasonable in all the circumstances of the case.

5

The power conferred by subsection (4)(b)—

a

may, in particular, be exercised with a view to obviating or reducing the adverse effect on the person concerned of any matter to which the claim relates, but

b

does not include power to order the payment of any sum by way of compensation.

6

The exercise of rights under this section is subject to provision made by regulations under sections 28IB and 28J.
