Following the reference
This short post points from the earlier SHARIAsource roundtable to an LSE Religion and Global Society commentary by Alistair Jones. It records another strand of the 2018 discussion about civil law, religious practices and the limits of state intervention.
The blog post is a guide to another contribution, rather than an independent judgment or a complete account of the litigation. Follow the linked original to distinguish Jones’s argument from the editorial introduction, and consult the 2020 appeal when researching the judicial outcome.
