Paul Diamond represented Mr Felix Ngole, who was a student attending Sheffield University. He was removed from his Social Worker course because of his expression of traditional Christian believes on homosexuality on social media.

The case engaged issues of free speech, and whether further restrictions on free speech by professional bodies was justified.

The case was reported in the Guardian:
