CASE C-157/15 Achbita v G4S Secure Solutions NV ECLI:EU:C:2017:203 and Case C-188/15, Bougnaoui v Micropole SA ECLI:EU:C:2017:204 concerned Muslim women who wanted to wear a headscarf at work. In both cases the women were ultimately dismissed from their employment. In Achbita the employer, G4S, initially had an unwritten rule, which was converted into a written rule, prohibiting the wearing of visible signs of political, philosophical and religious beliefs. Ms Achbita refused to comply and was dismissed. In Bougnaoui it was not wholly clear whether the employer, Micropole, had a general rule requiring visually neutral clothing. Nevertheless Ms Bougnaoui was asked not to wear her headscarf while working at a customer's site and was dismissed for misconduct when she refused.
