What means the disability discrimination? What characteristic has the disability discrimination? On the basis of these questions, this study aims to analyze how the concept of disability discrimination is constituted in disability discrimination law, focusing on the concept of disability discrimination of Equality Act 2010 in UK. Considering a social model of disability and a various nature of disability, the traditional concepts of direct discrimination and indirect discrimination taking a comparative approach have certain practical limitations for protecting disabled people from discrimination. Thus, this article studies the concept of ‘discrimination arising from disability’ in UK's Equality Act 2010 as an alternative concept of disability discrimination and its practical operation.
