In this podcast we interview Wendy Outhwaite QC, a barrister at 1 Crown Office Row who specialises in public law and human rights. We ask her about the right to hold and manifest one’s religious beliefs and about the recent cases in this area. She explains the definition of ‘belief’ and the approach they have taken to deciding whether or not there has been an interference with belief. She gives us her insight into why the decisions have been changes and draws interesting comparisons between the cases in the area.
