MONTREAL— Quebec’s highest court has ruled that a woman was denied justice three years ago after a judge ordered her to remove her hijab was entitled to be heard by the court. The unanimous judgment rendered today in favour of Rania El-Alloul says the Quebec court dress code does not forbid head scarves if they constitute a sincere religious belief and don’t harm the public interest. The unanimous judgment rendered today in favour of Rania El-Alloul, seen here in February 2015, says the Quebec court dress code does not forbid head scarves if they constitute a sincere religious belief and don’t harm the public interest. Marengo told her at the time that decorum was important and, in her opinion, El-Alloul wasn’t suitably dressed. El-Alloul’s lawyers had appealed the Quebec Superior Court’s 2016 decision refusing to declare that she had the right to be heard by the court despite her attire.
