The new positive action legal provisions mean that it is not unlawful to recruit or promote a candidate who is of equal merit to another candidate, if the chair of the recruitment panel reasonably thinks the candidate has a protected characteristic that is underrepresented in the workforce; or that people with that characteristic suffer a disadvantage connected to that characteristic.
