"The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, a religious organisation registered as a private unlimited company in the UK, was told in 2005 that it was not exempt from paying business tax on its temple in Preston, Lancashire.

Because the public were not allowed access to the temple, which was reserved for the most devout Mormons, the High Court dismissed their appeal in July 2008. However, the church refused to accept the decision, claiming that it amounted to discrimination on religious grounds and taking their battle all the way to Strasbourg. Now the European Court of Human Rights has upheld the ruling of the British courts."

Thanks for sharing. I didn't know that the E.U. court had ruled on the case.

Oops, I'm sorry! I saw the current date on the Telegraph site but not the original date of the article, which was 2014. I thought perhaps that the church was continuing the legal fight.

Another chink in the armor. Yay!

Excellent news,hope it was backdated,don't always agree with the ECHR but can sure agree on this.

So the EU is good for something!

After brexit, an appeal might not have had much of a point.
