I thought this day would never come. The case has FINALLY been listed at Brighton County Court from 22-30 September 2025.

Thank you so much everyone for the ongoing support, encouragement, gardening and lovely messages.

Looking forward to the case being over and hopefully the right outcome being reached - women having the option of single sex rape crisis therapy.

Keen gardeners please Google Sarah Summers Brighton DaffodilDaffodilDaffodil

Thank you Flowers

Flowers glad you have a date.

Good luck Sarah. So pleased you finally have dates to work towards. And a fantastic legal team! 👏

Many women are in the same boat, unable to access support as SS services have been ended. Rooting for you and thank you for your courage.

FOUR years, I knew it was a long time but not that long that is utterly appalling.

Good luck.

You've had this hanging over you for a long time but the end is in sight.

NoBinturongsHereMate · 28/01/2025 21:47

Not only the cases in the intervening years, but a new Equal Treatment bench book. So perhaps a better understanding among the judiciary.

I'm.so glad.you've finally got a date.

Rape Crisis Legal Case - Court Date!
Boiledbeetle · 28/01/2025 21:02

FINALLY! At least you can now stop counting years and move on to counting months.

It's so ridiculous that it's taken so long. Although that hopefully will actually work in your favour. So many cases have been won by women fighting this ideology since you started your case and the climate around this subject is not the same as it was four years ago.

September will be here before you know it!

I hope so. And I couldn't ask for a better legal team.

Can only hope, though for you it doesn't make it easier having to endure this punitive process, that other recent court cases and discussions will in fact be beneficial to your case.

Jesus, they have really dragged this one out. Given the huge amount of water under the bridge since you lodged your case, is there still a chance they will settle?

I won't accept a settlement, that won't solve the problem and women will still be left with no single sex support.

Yes really dragged it out! It will be 4 years since it happened.

That's really good news - but also infuriating.

Making you wait this long.

Best wishes for the time between now and then!
