Today's Highlighted Video Story:
Focus of the Day Article: We do not usually cover first-instance employment tribunal judgments on
this blog, but two cases handed down in the last three weeks – Forstater v. CGD Europe and Bailey v. Stonewall Equality Ltd and Garden Court Chambers –
have attracted so much attention that we feel an exception must be
made. Both cases involved women with ‘gender critical’ beliefs who faced
hostility in their workplaces after expressing them. Both succeeded in
their claims of direct discrimination and victimisation on grounds of
belief under the Equality Act 2010.
Although neither of the cases sets a binding precedent for other courts
or tribunals, they contain interesting legal analysis and comment about
the importance of freedom of expression and freedom of belief in the
context of work which is of wider significance. Full story - UK HUman Rights Blog
