2. In April 2010, the Equality Act 2010 received Royal Assent. This Act replaces the Race Relations Act 1976 (as well as a number of other pieces of equalities legislation).

RRA 1976 case law will continue to shape understandings of ‘racial’ and ‘ethnic group’ under the Equality Act 2010, as the actual provisions pertaining to these categories remain exactly the same.
