In this latest podcast, our employment law experts discuss the developments in discrimination following the recent Court of Appeal decision in Higgs v Farmor's School.
This case highlights the challenge for employers of balancing staff’s competing protected characteristics under the Equality Act. In this case, the way that Mrs Higgs expressed her Christian beliefs in Facebook posts led to her dismissal from her role at Farmor’s School, where she had worked for a number of years.
Mrs Higgs then brought a claim alleging her dismissal was discriminatory as she said it was because of her religion and beliefs. But did the Courts agree?
Our speakers for this podcast include employment partners Rustom Tata and Greg Burgess.
