Azmi v Kirklees Metropolitan Council 1801450/06 (ET) | Practical Law
In Azmi v Kirklees Metropolitan Council a tribunal dismissed an employee's claim that a management instruction not to wear a veil while she was teaching amounted to direct discrimination on the grounds of religion and belief under the Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003 (Religion or Belief Regulations). The employee had not established a prima facie case that she had been less favourably treated than a comparator in similar circumstances (a non-muslim employee who had covered their face).
