Article 9 is about a right to religion.
Wearing a veil over one's face is a cultural norm, not a religious ruling. It has nothing to do with Bible or Qu'ran or any religious text.
Thus no one's religion would be attacked should veil's be made illegal inside a court room.

A veil has as much right to be worn over a woman's face in a court room as a chav has to wear a burberry scarf covering his/her face with cap on & hood up in the same place.
