Right to identity, Pro homine principle, Non-discriminationAbstract
A British judgment is discussed concerning the right to identity of a student who wore long hair and braids, according to his ethnic and family tradition, but violated his school’s dress code. The court adopted the pro homine principle, applied by analogy the exceptions based on health and religion, and found that the student had been subjected to indirect discrimination.
