The Christian Legal Centre (CLC) is a legal organization which was set up in December 2007[1] to provide legal support for Christians in the United Kingdom and lobby on their behalf. They are linked to the Christian Concern campaigning organisation.[2]

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:

It would seem the Exeter Hospital would rather use its money to deny Christians their rights than using its scarce resources to treat patients. The money the trust is spending on lawyers in this case could employ Shirley Chaplin in front line nursing for many a year or two.
CLC director Andrea Williams, [14]
Sensible and sensitive solutions were offered to Mrs Chaplin. It is regrettable that her uncompromising stance, and the involvement of parties external to the Trust determined to play out the case in the media, may have deflected her from agreeing one of these.
Royal Devon & Exeter NHS Foundation Trust.[15]
