Haine v. Leves, 7 April 1987.
The Court ruled that where pupils coming from within a local community were segregated into single sex schools with differences in their curricula that resulted in a variation in educational qualification such that the school qualification of boys for tertiary education and employment was greater than that of girls, the Equal Opportunity Tribunal could conclude that the girls were being discriminated against under Section 31A of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977.
