A British executive who says he was sacked because of his beliefs about climate change is defending his right to make a say for unfair dismissal against his former workers.
Tim Nicholson, 42, was employed by UK property company, Grainger as head of sustainability from 2006 to 2008. He says that his views on climate change and the surroundings are so strong that they led to clashes with senior staff at the company.
At a pre-hearing review in March 2009, employment judge David Sneath decided Nicholson permission to make his claim for unfair dismissal under the UK's Employment Equality (Religion and Belief) rules which came into force in 2003.
Nicholson's solicitor, Shah Qureshi told CNN: "We feel that there are strong arguments as to why Tim's views would amount to a philosophical faith. If they do, it would mean that people with those views about climate change and how it will affect the world, they will be protected under the UK's prejudice laws."
