Ethical veganism is a belief protected by law, tribunal rules

[hairymouse]

No he hasn't. Part one is whether his defence is tenable. If ethical veganism was found to not be a protected belief, then he would have lost there and then. Now that it has been so found, the the tribunal moves to part 2 - whether he was sacked for his beliefs or not.

I'm sure many read it. Understanding it however.

I still think it's a bad decision

Thought I summarised it quite well to be fair:

He disclosed private company information but has been let off because he eats plants. Wow.

[WTFH]

Thought I summarised it quite well to be fair:

Nope, he hasn't been let off because he eats plants.

The first case was "is ethical veganisim a philosophical belief"
Which he won.

The next case is "was he fired for his belief or for disclosing private company information"?
That case hasn't come to court yet, so he most certainly has NOT been "let off because he eats plants"

My foresight will bear fruit. Vegan-friendly fruit.

Read carefully. He has not been let off. That is part 2 of the tribunal.

Which part of this are you having difficulty with? There's been no ruling yet about whether he has been unfairly dismissed or not.

According to sommat I heard on the Beeb yesterday, the chap won't travel by bus in case said bus injures an insect.

Sounds like a Jain.

Somebody should tell him how many insects are killed during the harvesting of wheats and grains.
