They could appeal it, but I would be astounded if they won.

A change in government is largely irrelevant

That’s good, I was fearing a switch back in some way (law or court)

I assume they can’t go again? In terms of court time

So a change of gov won’t help

Fucking EXCELLENT news. So bloody delighted.

IcakethereforeIam · 08/12/2023 12:48

Any news on if they plan to appeal?

But, for now, thank fuck!

I'm sure they were very well aware of the conflict and with this in mind they were going for a win-win outcome. Either Scotland gets a bonkers new gender law or an adverse outcome would provide years of opportunity for grievance mongering.

What a relief! Another waste of time and money by the SNP.

All those legal minds and all those MSPs who voted the bill through - how could they not grasp that Scotland changing a law that affects the rest of the UK was going to be problematic for Westminster?

Exactly. Section 35 was used in this case in exactly the way it was intended

Why lawmakers didn't grasp that is baffling

Stonewall aren’t very good at the law.

They must have put that up as I was typing 🤣
Thanks @ArthurbellaScott

Sad day for all those SMPs who voted to prioritise the rights of convicted rapists over women and girls.

EasternStandard · 08/12/2023 12:35

Great news

Moira and Steph? Oh dear. They need more time with the bundles clearly.

teawamutu · 08/12/2023 12:26

Can you nearly puke in relief?

Oh phew!

Rainbowshit · 08/12/2023 12:25

What a relief. Hopefully this will kill it off in Scotland.
