Legal Defence Fund

The Christian Institute has set up a Legal Defence Fund

The aim is to fund the costs of legal action and the associated campaign work in cases of national importance for religious liberty.

There are a growing number of cases where Christian freedom is being restricted by official bodies, often acting completely outside the law.

Parliament and the courts have laid down many precious rights and freedoms in the UK. These freedoms need to be used.

Christian Institute want to use the Legal Defence Fund to protect Christian religious freedom and restrain those who are unlawfully harassing and discriminating against Christian believers. They also want to use the fund to intervene in strategic court cases where precedents could be set which may affect Christian religious liberty.
