A thread ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡
15/01/1955: The Federal Labour Court ruled that the principle of equal rights and the prohibition of discrimination (art.3(2)(3) ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Basic Law) include the principle of equal pay for women and men for equal work and that this principle binds the parties to collective agreements.
18/10/1929: In Edwards v AG of Canada, the Privy Council affirms that women may be appointed to the ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Senate, overruling the Canadian Supreme Court decision that women were not โ€˜personsโ€™ under the relevant statute. Diversity through literal & liberal statutory interpretation!

1/ Heresy and English Canon Law โ€“ The first of two threads. #churchlaw #canonlaw

3/ Is heresy a disciplinary offence? Yes, even though the word is not used in our disciplinary legislation.
