but the supreme court is another matter entirely?

No all of these court case are about how the Law is written. As I said up thread, as both earlier cased showed, if Judges just strictly look at the words which say "for all purposes" a man with a GRC is a woman (and the tiny tiny concession which shows they know he really isn't) exempt under the limited occassions under the Single Sex Exemptions).

Can the High Court say that a Law is badly written, ie instruct Parliment to rewrite a Law?

Have just seen this:

Section 4 of the Human Rights Act says that if a higher court (such as the High Court, Court of Appeal or Supreme Court) considers that part of an Act of Parliament is incompatible with human rights, it can make a declaration of incompatibility.

JKR is very vocal this evening

Literally every £ counts. From each according to their ability, as a notorious TERF who believed women were oppressed due to their sex once said

Completely emotional day - thank you to all who are making this challenge possible - especially @jk_rowling (we are uncharacteristically struck dumb!).
This matters for the whole of the UK. Let us find out once and for all where women stand in law. Thank you.

I think the TRAs are struck dumb too. Not seen anything yet.

Absolutely not a slam dunk given that FWS lost the original case then the first appeal. But will be fascinating to see what the Supreme Court make of this.

true, but Maya lost her first tribunal (thanks to nutter in charge) but the supreme court is another matter entirely?

Boiledbeetle · 16/02/2024 23:07

And another 1000 in donations!

This is surely a slam dunk? The Kool aid gang can wibble all they like (and no doubt will) about gender, but sex is, er, sex? (and before anyone starts, you can fuck off with your clownfish-we are not fish)

This is so exciting.
I wonder how long it takes for a case to be heard in the SC.
Presumably we will be able to watch it live.
