Abstract

The UK continues to be more ethnically and religiously diverse. The inclusion of religion and belief within the UK Equality Law framework however has been controversial since its inception in 2003. The aim of this paper is to examine the practical and legal complexities associated with religion or belief discrimination in the UK. Drawing on an analysis of religion and belief claims from 2003 onwards and using illustrative case law, the study highlights several thematic areas of litigation relevant to employers, potential claimants and legal advisors. The paper offers insights into the underdeveloped legal debates and variations in how tribunals and the courts have interpreted and applied the law. Keywords: Religion and Belief; Discrimination; Equality Law; Labour Law
