Discriminatory provision is here:
Equality Act Schedule 9 Paragraph 18

Walker ruling:

This is the impenetrable section 4 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 to which Professor Wintemute refers, and which expires on 31 December 2023:
www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/...
This Act comes into effect on 31 Dec:

Instead of repealing the discriminatory exceptions, the Regulations create “exceptions to the exceptions” for occupational pension schemes. The exceptions are blots on the Equality Act 2010 and the corresponding Regulations for Northern Ireland.
