Holiday Park company had 'undesireables list' of Irish surnames to screen out bookings.

... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-56246848 The ECHR has found Pontins breached the 2010 Equality Act Pontins has agreed to change its working practices after disclosure it had a blacklist of Irish surnames used to screen out bookings for its holiday parks. Interesting from a legal point of veiw? Very embarrassing for Pontins if they are selecting which customers to take bookings from on racial/ethnic grounds, and especially if they use a discriminator that is as crude (ie imprecise) as banned surnames, given that there will not be an exact correlation between surname and ethnic origin. I wonder what effect this news will have on bookings and on investments by other companies. |
