/**
 * UK Equality Act 2010 Compliance Pack
 *
 * Statute: Equality Act 2010 (consolidating prior anti-discrimination law).
 *
 * Jurisdiction: GB (England, Scotland, Wales). Northern Ireland has its
 *   own parallel anti-discrimination regime.
 * Authority: Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) — primary
 *   enforcement body. Sectoral regulators (FCA, Ofcom, MHRA, ICO) apply
 *   the Act within their remits. Tribunals and courts adjudicate.
 *
 * Why this pack:
 *   - The Equality Act is the foundational UK anti-discrimination statute
 *     and the primary substantive law against AI-driven discriminatory
 *     outcomes. Any AI system whose outputs affect a person — hiring,
 *     credit, healthcare access, education, housing, content moderation,
 *     pricing — touches the Equality Act.
 *   - DSIT AI Framework (uk-ai-framework pack) Principle 3 (Fairness)
 *     references the Equality Act explicitly. The Equality Act is the
 *     statute behind the principle.
 *   - Maps to ICO AI guidance, EHRC AI guidance (2023), and the
 *     Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED, s.149).
 *
 * Nine protected characteristics (s.4–s.12):
 *   1. Age
 *   2. Disability
 *   3. Gender reassignment
 *   4. Marriage and civil partnership
 *   5. Pregnancy and maternity
 *   6. Race
 *   7. Religion or belief
 *   8. Sex
 *   9. Sexual orientation
 *
 * Forms of prohibited conduct:
 *   - Direct discrimination (s.13)
 *   - Indirect discrimination (s.19) — disparate-impact pattern; this is
 *     the most relevant lens for AI fairness audits.
 *   - Harassment (s.26)
 *   - Victimisation (s.27)
 *   - Failure to make reasonable adjustments for disability (s.20–s.22)
 *
 * Public Sector Equality Duty (s.149) — applies to public bodies and to
 *   private bodies exercising a public function. Requires due regard to
 *   eliminating discrimination, advancing equality of opportunity, and
 *   fostering good relations.
 *
 * Why separate from uk-ai-framework:
 *   - DSIT AI Framework is non-statutory principles guidance. The
 *     Equality Act is the underlying statute that gives those principles
 *     teeth. They co-apply; a customer needs both.
 *
 * Out of scope:
 *   - UK GDPR Article 22 automated decision-making (separate pack:
 *     uk-gdpr) — overlaps but distinct.
 *   - Northern Ireland anti-discrimination (separate parallel regime).
 *   - Specific employment-AI laws (already shipped: nyc-ll-144,
 *     illinois-aivia, maryland-hb1202, california-ab2930) which cover
 *     other jurisdictions' equivalents.
