The dismissal of a professor of religion in a public school has to be confirmed by both religious and public competent authorities

Key facts of the case - A professor of Catholic religion in a public school has been negatively assessed by both the religious authority and the public education inspector. Religious authority decided to revoke this professor, but the public school authority failed to uphold the religious decision.

Main reasoning of the court - The Council of State has decided that revocation may not be effective in public law due to lack of competence of religious authority acting alone. The Council of State has temporarily suspended the decision.
