Dr David Ariel, president of the centre, said Dr Argov had been made redundant for financial reasons. He said she had refused to teach the number of courses she was contracted for, and that there were discrepancies between her contract and that of other staff members.
The judge ruled that Dr Argov had been unfairly dismissed because she had not been properly notified of her right to appeal, because there was “unreasonable delay” in the appeal process and because the appeal process was “not conducted with appropriate or fair rigour”.
However, he said that there was no reliable evidence that her dismissal had been “tainted by religious discrimination.”
He added: “The alleged discriminator, Dr Ariel, did not know of [her] religious faith at the time he made the allegedly discriminatory decision.
“Even if he had been aware…he would not have taken that as a material consideration.”
