The Equal Status Act and the Employment Equality Act were both referred to the Supreme Court for examination. It was the intention that the sanction for a breach of the Equal Status Act would be more severe than it is. A breach of the Equal Status Act results in the licence of the club concerned being forfeited and the loss of its certificate of registration. It was the intention to ensure that the sanction would be more severe than that. However, this would not be constitutionally permissible on the advice which was available. That immediately creates a difficulty.
