Equal Opportunities in the Workplace

  Description: In Gareddu v London Underground Ltd [UKEAT/0086/16/DM] the EAT upheld a finding that an assertion of religious belief failed the good faith test. In light of the wide definition given to 'philosophical or other belief' in cases such as Grainger and Power, what are the challenges in reaching a fair determination in a dispute regarding the genuineness of a belief claimed to be protected under the Equality Act 2010? Does the Equality Act 2010 provide adequate protection, or too much protection?
