A British Airways check-in worker's fight to wear a crucifix is being taken to the Appeal Court in a test case for religious freedom.
Judges are to decide whether Nadia Eweida, 57, was treated unfairly when BA suspended her in 2006 for wearing a necklace displaying the Christian symbol at work.
The airline eventually took her back after a national outcry that saw Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu denounce the policy as 'nonsense' and nearly 100 MPs call for a rethink.
However, Miss Eweida lost three months' pay while suspended and an employment tribunal later ruled that she had not suffered religious discrimination. It found that she had not been treated less favourably than anyone else - although if a group of people had been denied the right to display symbols of faith that could have amounted to unfair treatment.
Miss Eweida's case has now been taken up by civil liberties pressure group Liberty, which will attempt to overturn the tribunal decision in the Court of Appeal.
