6. Rhyngwladol / International - 3 e.e, , mewn perthynas â’r Gymraeg / e.g. in respect of Welsh

9. Camwahaniaethu / Unlawful Discrimination Uniongyrchol / Direct
Anuniongyrchol / Indirect
Dau brawf statudol gwahanol am gamwahaniaethu anuniongyrchol
Two distinct statutory tests for indirect unlawful discrimination
10. Y prawf cyntaf / The first testDeddf Cysylltiadau Hil / Race Relations Act 1976 1. (1) A person discriminates against another… if:
(b) he applies to that other a requirement or condition which he applies or would apply equally to persons not of the same racial group as that other but –
(i) which is such that [there is a considerably smaller proportion of
that person’s racial group able to comply with that condition]; and
(ii) which he cannot show to be justifiable...; and
(iii) which is to the detriment of that [person discriminated against]
because he cannot comply with it.
11. Yr ail brawf / The second testDeddf Cysylltiadau Hil / Race Relations Act 1976 1. (1A) A person also discriminates against another if, ... He applies to that other a provisions, criterion or practice which he applies or would apply equally to persons not of the same race or ethnic or national origins as that other, but –
(a) which puts or would put persons of the same race or ethnic or national origins as that other at a particular disadvantage when compared with other persons,
(b) which puts [or would put] that other at that disadvantage, and
(c) which he cannot show to be a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.
12. Amodau iaith / Language Conditions Cymraeg yn hanfodol / Welsh essential
= “Requirement or condition”
Cymraeg yn ddymunol / Welsh desirable
= “Provision criterion or practice”
Mae’r un egwyddorion yn dal am bob iaith
The same principles hold true for all languages
Rhaid felly edrych ar “reasonable”, “Proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim”
13. St Mathias Church of England School v Crizzle:“ • What is the context within which the employer’s objective is based?
• Is the objective legitimate and reasonable in that context?
• Are the means used to achieve the objective reasonable (that is to say, is the imposition of the condition reasonable)?
Is any discriminatory effect outweighed by the reasonable needs of the employer?
Cyd-fynd â gofynion cyfreithiau iaith yng ngoleuni Crizzle
Complying with language law in the light of Crizzle
14. Gair am GORau / A word about GORs Genuine Occupational Requirements
Mae’r nodwedd yn ofyniad gwirioneddol a diffiniol ar gyfer y swydd, mae’n gymesur gosod y gofyniad ac nid yw’r person yn cwrdd â’r gofyniad neu cred y cyflogwr yn rhesymol nad yw’n cwrdd ag ef,
Characteristic is a genuine and determining requirement of the job, It is proportionate to apply that requirement and either the person does not meet the requirement or the employer is not satisfied on reasonable grounds that the person meets it
Hil, neu wreiddiau ethnig neu genedligol, ond nid lliw na chenedligrwydd
Race, ethnic or national origins, but not colour or nationality
