EHRC legal intervention on religious discrimination cases

On 27 September 2011, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) announced that it had submitted its intervention to the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) on four cases relating to alleged religious discrimination in the workplace.

The Commission’s submission has been informed by a public consultation in which it asked for views on its proposed submission on the human rights elements of the four cases claiming religious discrimination, and separately, whether the concept of reasonable accommodation has any useful practical application in cases concerning the manifestation of religion or belief. The consultation closed on 5 September.
