R (Shabina Begum)) v Governors of Denbigh High School ([2005] EWCA Civ 199; [2005] 2 All ER 396)

Today the House of Lords will give its decision on an appeal by Shabina Begum against her school’s refusal to let her wear a jilbab, which covers the whole body except for hands and face. We are sure that somehow lecturers will use this case as part of the AS/A level syllabus, but how, we are not quite sure.
