I have so much respect for Allison Bailey not just for this important case, but for putting her head above the parapet in helping to found LGB and not giving up on important matters of law and justice, when I have no doubt that her life would be simpler if she had.

I cannot imagine what a stressful and unpleasant time this has been, and I am sure that it will continue up until the hearing in June 2022. If Allison is reading this, I hope she knows how grateful I am to her for shedding light on this. So many of us in law, healthcare and education are too afraid to speak up for people that are harmed by some of Stonewall’s practices, but I hope that this case forms part of a turning tide.

Apologies if cross-posting, I couldn’t find anything recent on FWR about it at the time of posting.

She's an amazing woman.
It's great to see all the support she is getting.

Outbutnotoutout · 01/12/2021 21:24

I would like to thank all the amazing strong women who have stood firm...

Alison, Keria, JKR, God so many

They peaked me, I in turn peaked my girls and my husband. I have lost friends, nearly lost my job, but I will stand strong and stand alongside these amazing women

Times article mentions crowdfunder, and plenty comments mention as well and encourage people to read all info, and obv might make crowdfunder get more visits support

CruellaDeVilla · 30/11/2021 06:02

Good news. There is a crowd fund for her legal case too

Wonderful news.

LonginesPrime · 30/11/2021 01:55

Great news - thank you for standing up to them, Allison!

CheeseMmmm · 30/11/2021 00:41

Still though what a hiatus on her life and sure with consequences.

June 2022! This has been going for months and months, more than a year? Already.

Allison has replied to someone on Twitter that the date in the article is wrong, it's happening in April 22.

It got pushed into next year because the trial length was extended. It was supposed to be 8 days, now it's going to be 20, and The Tribunal and lawyers couldn't accommodate it any earlier, unfortunately.

Good luck Allyson and kudos for fighting.

Having this going on must mess with work/ earnings esp for barrister the time period is just incredible.

I wonder if this means that Garden Court will consider a settlement as to a lay person this reads like quite a steer that direct discrimination has been accepted as an amendment.

Motorcyclemptiness · 29/11/2021 23:09

Well done, Allison.

MonsignorMirth · 29/11/2021 22:57

I did follow this at the time, but could someone knowledgeable sum up what happened this year and what has now changed? The article does mention that it's been changed from indirect discrimination to direct discrimination, but I remember there were things like the other party not making documents available in time or they were too redacted etc?

Clymene · 29/11/2021 22:49

That is fantastic.

Well done Allison. You are absolutely bloody awesome Smile

Is there a link? I can't see it on the app
The link is in the OP - none of the archive. sites work for me but I found it by entering the Telegraph URL at web.archive.org

Well done to the legal feminists and legal team who are responsible for the Forstater ruling that has facilitated this for Allison B.

Fantastic news for Allison, she does indeed seem to have a very strong case.
