in 2010 the labour court of south africa addressed the question of who is a jew for the purposes of the employment equity act. the question has also arisen in the united kingdom, where religious schools are allowed to select all, or a proportion of their intake based upon religion. a 2009 ruling, "r(e) v governing body of jfs", determined that the definition of jewish religion based upon descent constituted discrimination on ethnic grounds, and therefore contravened racial discrimination laws. also in the uk, under the sunday trading act 1994 "a person of the jewish religion" who observes the jewish sabbath can open their shops on sundays. the act defines "person of the jewish religion" as someone who holds a certificate that they are jewish from a rabbi, synagogue secretary or the representative body of british jewry, the board of deputies.
