I think this is a positive development. I have been assisting CAA with their submissions
If anyone wants to know about the EHRC's powers to investigate, the starting point is section 20 of the Equality Act 2006 legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/3/s… 
The EHRC's powers for s.20 investigations are extensive and akin to a public inquiry. They are set out in Schedule 2 to the Equality Act 2006 legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/3/s…
The most important point is once the ERHC has asked for information or documents in a person's possession, it is a criminal offence not to provide it unless there is a reasonable excuse (which doesn't include "it would be damaging"!) or it falls within some limited exceptions
Nb legally privileged information would be exempt from enforced disclosure - but that is carefully defined in law
