Where employment in a particular profession is provided primarily through a partnership firm, any such firm of professionals, or any persons proposing to form themselves into such a partnership firm, shall not, discriminate against any person on any ground specified in section 3(2) —
in the arrangements they make for the purpose of determining who should be offered a position as a partner in the firm;
by refusing or deliberately omitting to offer that position to that person;
in the terms on which they offer that position to that person; or
in a case where that person already holds that position —
by denying or limiting access to any benefit arising from membership of the firm; or
by expelling that person from the firm or subjecting that person to any other detriment.
Subsection (1) does not apply if the treatment afforded to the partner or potential partner is based on a genuine occupational qualification.
