A priest, who ran two parishes in Scotland, has been given the go-ahead to sue the church for unfair dismissal.
Fr Patrick Lawson, a priest of the Diocese of Galloway, was removed from his post following his long-time call for action to be taken against a priest he accused of sexual abuse.
A spokesperson for the Scottish Bishops' Conference said that it would be 'inappropriate' for Fr Lawson's case to be heard by the tribunal. The Conference argues that the relationship between priest and diocese is not of an employer and employee.
