Deliveroo: Supreme Court on Worker Status and Article 11

Andrew Edge talks to Hannah Slarks about Miller v University of Bristol 1400780/2022, an important first instance decision on protected belief discrimination.  To what extent is anti-Zionism a protected belief?  Andrew and Hannah examine how Higgs and Forstater play out in practice.  Does the law now mean that an employer can be guilty of direct discrimination when motivated by an employee’s objectionable manifestation of their belief – rather than the belief itself?
