The right to wear a turban (24 April 2008)
Geoffrey Bindman reviews an old case that has recently become topical.
This year is the 25th anniversary of the decision of the House of Lords in Mandla v Dowell-Lee [1983] 1 All ER 1062, in which a Sikh schoolboy was refused admission to a private preparatory school because he would not remove the turban. The Lords reversed a decision of the Court of Appeal and held that Sikhs were entitled to the protection of the Race Relations Act 1976 (RRA 1976).
