The Christian Legal Centre (CLC) is a legal organization which was set up in December 2007 to provide legal support for Christians in the United Kingdom and lobby on their behalf. They are linked to the Christian Concern campaigning organisation.
Notable cases
Since its inception, the CLC has provided legal support in a number of high-profile cases in the UK. Most of them have been unsuccessful. Notable examples include:
On March 28, 2010, six current and former Anglican bishops; Lord Carey of Clifton, Michael Scott-Joynt, Michael Nazir-Ali, Peter Forster, Anthony Priddis and Nicholas Reade — cited the case in an open letter to the Sunday Telegraph newspaper in which they claimed to be "deeply concerned at the apparent discrimination shown against Christians". Ms Chaplin eventually tried unsuccessfully to obtain a ruling against the UK government at the European Court of Human Rights.
