Voorstel van wet van de leden Bergkamp, Van Ark, Yücel, Jasper van Dijk en Klaver tot wijziging van de Algemene wet gelijke behandeling in verband met het annuleren van de enkele-feitconstructie in de Algemene wet gelijke behandeling
This is a Dutch parliamentary initiative bill, introduced by members of the Tweede Kamer, that would amend the General Equal Treatment Act (Algemene wet gelijke behandeling). It seeks to cancel the 'enkele-feitconstructie' (single-fact construction), a rule that affects how the burden of proof works in discrimination cases. Based on the title alone, the bill would change when a single fact can be enough to shift that burden. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text. The change would mainly affect people who bring discrimination complaints under Dutch equal treatment law, and employers, service providers and others who could be accused of discrimination. It could alter the evidence required in such cases and the procedural position of each party.
