An employment tribunal judge in Norwich has ruled that ethical veganism is a philosophical belief and is therefore protected by law. He claims he was unfairly disciplined for making this disclosure and that the decision to dismiss him was because of his philosophical belief in ethical veganism. For a belief to be protected under the Act, it must meet a series of tests including being worthy of respect in a democratic society, not being incompatible with human dignity and not conflicting with fundamental rights of others.The ruling means that ethical vegans are entitled to protection from discrimination.
