Glosa do wyroku Sądu Najwyższego Stanow Zjednoczonych z dnia 4 czerwca 2018 r. w sprawie Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission
Journal Title: PRZEGLĄD SEJMOWY - Year 2018, Vol 149, Issue 6
Abstract
The discussed judgment refers to the problem of law prohibiting the discrimination in access to goods and services. Colorado Rights Commission, and then the Colorado Court of Appeal decided that the bakery owner Jack Phillips discriminated homosexual persons with his refusal to provide a wedding cake for the prospective spouses of the same sex on the basis of his religious beliefs. The U.S. Supreme Court annulled the Commission’s decision and the contested judgment of the state court. In the opinion of the federal Supreme Court, the Commission, in the course of the proceedings before it, did not employ neutrality and impartiality and displayed hostility and bias against the religious views of the bakery’s owner. The discussed judgment shall be approved as an individual act of applying the law. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court did not decide on the circumstances allowing an entrepreneur to evade the antidiscrimination provisions on the basis of his conscientious objection.
