Over the past thirty years questions have been raised, and still remain, as to the proper scope of the sovereign's title, Defender of the Faith, in a multi-faith society. Such questions are not only politically important but are legally important, especially as they raise questions affecting the Church of England. Those questions need to be addressed before any suggested changes are actually implemented. These questions are different from those that arise in relation to the Coronation Oath Act 1688, but nonetheless are important. In spite of the uncompromising wording of that Act, changes to the oath taken by new sovereigns have historically taken place at subsequent coronations. This has led to both denials and affirmations of the legality of such changes. As similar changes are likely to take place in the future, it is important to consider whether the courts (civil or ecclesiastical) have jurisdiction to entertain challenges to the legality of the coronation itself, to the oath and to the actions of the relevant participants.

Ltd had been required to show that the reason for the decision had ‘nothing to do with’ a protected characteristic (here, religion or philosophical belief) of the BGEA–and it had not done so. It was accepted that the event was a lawful evangelical outreach event. That being so, it followed ‘that the decision to cancel was a breach of the Equality Act 2010 in that the event was cancelled as a commercial response to the views of objectors’ and there was no business case defence in law. Accordingly, on that basis alone, SEC Ltd had breached the terms of s.29(2) Equality Act 2010 by terminating the provision of the service to the pursuer. Furthermore, although the concern of Glasgow City Council for people from the LGBTQ+ and Muslim communities might be understandable, that missed the point: ‘The lawful opinions of others based here on religious or philosophical belief (whether mainstream or not) are not to be preferred one over another. All are protected.’ SEC Ltd had discriminated against the BGEA on the basis of a protected characteristic for the purposes of the Equality Act 2010 and the Sheriff awarded the BGEA £97,000 plus expenses.
