Catholic Care has won a high court appeal not to adhere to sexual orientation regulations to use homosexual parents
A Catholic adoption society today won the right in the high court not to consider homosexual couples as parents.
Mr Justice Briggs, sitting in London, has allowed the society's appeal for an exemption from the sexual orientation regulations - opposed by the Charity Commission - which means the society can continue operating as it has always done.
Catholic Care, serving the dioceses of Leeds, Middlesbrough and Hallam in South Yorkshire, warned it would give up its work of finding homes for children – as many Catholic adoption societies have already done – rather than comply with the legislation.
Mr Justice Briggs has ordered the Charity Commission to reconsider its opposition to the society's operation.
