The judge, sitting alone, upheld the decision of the Employment Tribunal that a philosophical belief (in this case in the real danger of climate change) not based on religious belief was capable of protection under the Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003, SI 2003/1660. He held that in establishing a claim based on such a belief the believer should provide evidence as to the genuineness of his or her beliefs and be subject to cross-examination. [WA]
