Article summary

The EHRC has been granted permission to intervene at the European Court of Human Rights in the religious discrimination cases of Eweida, Chaplin, Ladele and McFarlane, and is now seeking views on (1) its proposed submissions to the Strasbourg Court on the human rights elements of the four cases, and (2) whether the concept of reasonable accommodation (currently only used in disability discrimination law) has any useful practical application in cases concerning the manifestation of religion or belief, in a short consultation which closes on 5 September 2011.
