Equality Tribunal
The Equality Tribunal (also known as the Office of the Director of Equality Investigations) is an impartial body set up by law to decide or mediate complaints under equality legislation. Its functions are quasi-judicial. It hears or mediates claims of unlawful discrimination under the equality legislation. A Tribunal mediator will facilitate parties to reach a mediated agreement, which is legally binding. Where parties object to mediation, a case will be heard by a Tribunal Equality Officer, who will hear evidence from both parties before issuing a legally binding decision. Where the Tribunal upholds a claim of discrimination, it awards redress and it can direct a person to take a specific action.
