5. Discrimination on the ground of race of near relative
In any circumstances relevant for the purposes of any provision of this Ordinance, a person (“the discriminator”) discriminates against another person (“relevant person”) if, on the ground of the race of a near relative of the relevant person, the discriminator treats the relevant person less favourably than the discriminator treats or would treat another person not having a near relative of the same racial group as the near relative of the relevant person.
6. Discrimination by way of victimization
(1) A person (“the discriminator”) discriminates against another person (“the person victimized”) in any circumstances relevant for the purposes of any provision of this Ordinance if the discriminator treats the person victimized less favourably than in those circumstances the discriminator treats or would treat other persons, and does so—
- (a) by reason that the person victimized or any other person (“the third person”) has—
- (i) brought proceedings against the discriminator or any other person under this Ordinance;
- (ii) given evidence or information in connection with proceedings brought by any person against the discriminator or any other person under this Ordinance;
- (iii) otherwise done anything under or by reference to this Ordinance in relation to the discriminator or any other person; or
- (iv) alleged that the discriminator or any other person has committed an act which (whether or not the allegation so states) would amount to a contravention of this Ordinance; or
- (b) by reason that the discriminator—
- (i) knows the person victimized or the third person, as the case may be, intends to do any of those things; or
- (ii) suspects the person victimized or the third person, as the case may be, has done, or intends to do, any of them.
(2) Subsection (1) does not apply to treatment of a person by reason of any allegation made by that person if the allegation was false and not made in good faith.
