€27,000 for sacked divorced journalist
Newspaper Katholiek Nieuwsblad must pay €27,000 in compensation to its former editor-in-chief, a Den Bosch court ruled on Wednesday.
The 45-year-old man was sacked because he got divorced following an extra-marital affair. The court declared this was insufficient reason for the newspaper to claim breach of contract, despite its strong Catholic views and opposition to divorce.
