[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 185406, member: 35"] [B] Sikh man loses Garda High Court court challenge to turban decision [/B] [url]http://www.rte.ie/news/2013/0530/453680-sikh-man-loses-garda-high-court-challenge/[/url] Sikh man lost case at High Court over not being allowed to wear a turban while on duty Sikh man lost case at High Court over not being allowed to wear a turban while on duty A member of the Irish Sikh community has lost a High Court challenge to a Garda decision not to allow those training for the Garda Reserve to wear a turban while on duty. Ravinder Singh Oberoi completed the first three stages of training for the Garda Reserve. He was then informed he would be required to wear a full Garda uniform, including a Garda hat, and would not be permitted to wear a turban. As a result Mr Oberoi claims he was unable to continue his training and become a member of the Garda Reserve. In making a complaint under the Equality Acts, he alleged he had been treated less favourably in accessing employment and in his conditions of employment. Lawyers for the Garda Commissioner argued that the Equality Acts do not apply to members of the Garda Reserve as they are not "employees" within the meaning of the Acts. The Garda Síochána Act provides that a reserve member is a volunteer and does not perform his or her functions under a contract of employment. However, Mr Oberoi's lawyers claimed the Garda Síochána Act makes no reference or amendments to the Equality Acts. In his judgement Mr Justice Kevin Feeney said: "For me to determine that a member of the Garda Reserve is an employee would require me to disregard the express terms of the Garda Síochána Act, and to ignore its clear meaning and intention." Justice Feeney said that under law, members of the Garda Reserve were volunteers and did not provide their functions under a contract of employment. He ruled: "For there to be a contract of employment there must be mutual obligations on the employer to provide work for the employee and on the employee to work for the employer. "Under the statutory scheme there is no obligation to provide work to a Garda Reserve." The court also found that membership of the Garda Reserve cannot be considered "vocational training" to become a member of An Garda Síochána. Justice Feeney noted that many in training to be a Garda Reserve are already in full-time employment and would not want to be full-time members of the Garda. He found that although some members of the Garda Reserve use their role as a springboard to becoming members of the Garda, it cannot be said that training to be a Garda Reserve is "exclusively" concerned with training to be a member of An Garda Síochána. Mr Oberoi's legal team said it will consider the judgment before making any further decisions. [/QUOTE]
