Appeal denied!!!

Lady Justice 👩‍⚖️ (@RadFemLawyer) Tweeted:
Permission to appeal to the Court of Appeal in the Bell v Tavistock case has been refused. 10 grounds of appeal were advanced. None succeeded, including an attempt at an Article 14 (discrimination) point which had not been suggested previously by the Defendant. twitter.com/RadFemLawyer/status/1335926918223433734?s=20

Anyone know what happens next?

Note this: The Defendant is to pay eighty percent of the Claimants' costs, capped in the sum of £35,000.

That’s good news. There were certainly indications on the day of the judgement that this would be the case.

That's great news. It's ridiculous they're appealing though. They're the NHS FFS. How about 'do no harm'?

An application for permission to appeal will now to be made TO the Court of Appeal itself.

It looks like business as usual. The court refused appeal so appeal must be sought from the higher court.
