The judgment of the case was that a nut allergy is a life-threatening illness and it must not be compared. And it reduces the importance of someone’s beliefs.
The decision to swap Zakaria’s gift must not be taken and the statements made must not have said. The court further claimed that religious harassment and belief contrary to the Equality Act succeeded. The hotel was ordered by the court to pay £2,000 for injury to feelings along with interest.
