Man who said wearing a mask at work was a ‘breach of the Nuremberg laws’—People Management
Partner Alex Bearman has been quoted in an article by People Management, addressing the case of an office worker alleging discrimination and a breach of the Nuremberg Laws after refusing to wear a face mask to work.
“The judge in this case was not prepared to find that an objection to mask wearing was a protected philosophical belief and it seems likely that other similar claims would fail. “It is also difficult to see how a disability discrimination case could succeed where the employer’s policy allows for exemption on medical grounds.”
