: Slaw.caSex Discrimination in Insurance Rates
By John Gregory
A legal advisor to the European Court of Justice has advised that it is illegal to charge different premiums to women and men for life insurance and car insurance, merely because women live longer and have fewer accidents.
The differences are not inherent in women and men, and therefore are discriminatory.
This advice is not binding on anyone, but the ECJ usually goes along with its advisors.
Does this make sense to you? or is it just too politically correct for words?
