Judges have ruled that Kristie Higgs was wrongly sacked over social media posts that criticised the use of gender ideology in classrooms.

The school administrator won a six-year battle over the right to express Christian beliefs after senior judges said on 12 February that she was unfairly dismissed by the school where she worked over comments she had made in a private capacity on Facebook, reportsThe Times.

The case had been seen as a landmark freedom of conscience trial, and lawyers for Ms Higgs have predicted that the ruling in the Court of Appeal will have “significant ramifications for Christian freedom in the workplace".
