High Court upholds the decision to dismiss a teacher for inappropriate conduct, including public outbursts during a school event, rejecting the teacher's application for an injunction to prevent a Disciplinary Appeal Panel hearing, where the teacher, who had objected to using a student's preferred pronouns based on religious beliefs, argued that the involvement of the ASTI's General Secretary on the panel indicated bias due to the ASTI's general advice on pronoun use; however, the court found no evidence of bias, noting that the ASTI has no formal policy on transgender issues and that the teacher's dismissal was based on the manner of his objections, not the objections themselves.
Disciplinary Appeal Panel - teacher dismissal - inappropriate conduct - public outbursts - religious beliefs - preferred pronouns - ASTI - General Secretary - bias - transgender issues - formal policy - objection handling - High Court decision - injunction application - disciplinary process.
