A Christian registrar who refused to carry out civil partnership ceremonies has won her discrimination case after she was victimised for her religious belief.
Lillian Ladele, 47, who worked at Islington council in North London, told an employment tribunal that she was ordered to perform the same-sex ceremonies or face dismissal for gross misconduct. She said: "I felt harassed and victimised. I was being picked on on a daily basis."
