Government is facing mounting
pressure over SOR court case
http://www.christian.org.uk/soregs/catholicevidence.htm
The High Court in Belfast has given the Roman Catholic Church the right to submit substantial evidence against the Sexual Orientation Regulations (SORs) in Northern Ireland.
The new evidence will be considered during the judicial review launched by The Christian Institute and others in December.
Under High Court rules any individual or organisation can apply to the court for permission to take part in proceedings on an independent basis.
The Roman Catholic Church is not a co-applicant in the case but their initiative demonstrates that the regulations have upset both communities in the Province.
Due to the weight of evidence submitted against the Government the judge has extended the time set aside for the court case from two to three days and set a new date for the hearing of 4 June.
This development will increase the pressure on the Government over the regulations.
