The widespread recognition of the importance of this case has been demonstrated by the number of high-profile organisations that have been given permission to intervene in the hearing. The Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has intervened, arguing that there is now “a phenomenon” of employers being pressured by third parties to punish employees for exercising free speech that has “become more common.” The Free Speech Union has also been given permission to intervene in the case, as have the Association of Christian Teachers, Sex Matters, and the Church of England Archbishops’ Council.
