In this episode of the Indicator HR and Employment Law podcast, we look at University of Bristol v Miller, a significant case concerning philosophical beliefs and discrimination under employment law.
The Employment Appeal Tribunal considered whether anti-Zionism beliefs are capable of being protected philosophical beliefs, following the dismissal of a university professor over public comments he had made.
We explore why the EAT upheld the Tribunal’s findings on protected belief and discrimination, how the professor’s conduct affected the compensation awarded, and why part of the case was referred back to the Tribunal for reconsideration.
Listen now to understand the ruling and what it could mean for employers managing strongly held beliefs and their expression in the workplace.
