McClintock v Department of Constitutional Affairs UKEAT/0223/07; [2008] IRLR 29 | Practical Law
In McClintock v Department of Constitutional Affairs UKEAT/0223/07, Mr McClintock, a Justice of the Peace, resigned from membership of the Family Panel because the Department of Constitutional Affairs refused to relieve him of the duty to officiate in cases in which he might have to place children for adoption, fostering or care with civil partners or same sex partners. The EAT upheld a tribunal's decision that Mr McClintock had not been directly or indirectly discriminated against or subjected to harassment on grounds of his religion or belief.
