Dove v. Scottish Ministers
April 29, 2009 | No CommentsThe Article 2 Protocol 1 right to an education in conformity with parents’ own religious and philosophical convictions was unsuccessfully relied upon in the context of a judicial review challenge to the decision of the Scottish Ministers to end the self-governing status of St. Mary’s Episcopal school in Dunblane.
