In terms of the specific points raised by IBEC, how would a case be navigated around some of its concerns with, for example, postal address or income thresholds? I am playing devil's advocate here and asking how far an employer would have to go to discover a substantive ground?

What would be the threshold information? Is it about building a culture of compliance or changing societal expectations? Is this the Equality and Rights Alliance's view on it? I would like to get both sides.
