To the great joy of the Daily Mail, in the much publicised case of Eweida and Ors v UK, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Nadia Eweida, a practising Christian and British Airways check in worker should not have been prevented by BA from wearing a visible plain silver cross necklace. Whilst the European Court agreed that BA’s aim to promote their corporate image was reasonable, there was no evidence that employees wearing religious items had a detrimental impact on that image. The European Court decided that there had been a breach of Ms Eweida’s right to manifest her religion. The fact that BA subsequently amended their uniform policy demonstrated that the earlier prohibition was not very important.
