        (1)         It is unlawful for an authority or body empowered to confer an authorisation or qualification that is needed for, or facilitates, the practice of a profession, or the carrying on or engaging in of a trade or occupation, to discriminate against a person on the ground of disability

            (a)         by refusing or failing to confer or renew that authorisation or qualification; or

            (b)         in the terms or conditions on which it confers the authorisation or qualification; or

            (c)         by withdrawing the authorisation or qualification, or varying the terms or conditions on which it is held.

        (2)         This section does not apply to discrimination against a person on the ground of disability where, in consequence of that disability, the person is not, or would not be, able to practise the profession, or carry on or engage in the trade or occupation, adequately or safely.
