Hilarious addition to today's happy news about the legal definition of 'woman'.

I am extremely doubtful that three equality law KCs told him that for women Scotland’s case was not even arguable. If a case isn’t arguable then it’s a breach of barrister ethics to take the case on as it would be a waste of court resources and would be at risk of misleading the court. “Not arguable” is an extremely strong thing to say. Also, you don’t need to be an expert in equality law to know that of course the case on both sides was arguable - the law was in a right mess and confusion and needed sorting out. It’s not a good look for Jo to admit that he can’t tell for himself whether a case is arguable or not.

If Jolyon is telling the truth, it's not just Jolyon who got it wrong, but Jolyon's three specialist KC mates as well.

We need names. So that those who might need "equalties" representation in future can avoid such incompetent numpties.

If you were an aquaintance of Jolly Joylon would you want people knowing?

Poor Jolyon. Perhaps they were all reversing into a bin at the time.

Sounds like they are of the "Stonewall Law" variety!

The law has become such a mess that I would not have been shocked or surprised at any verdict.

I did a fair bit of research online, mainly legal blogs and could find few confident predictions.

I know, right. Just backs up what I posted previously, he mistyped KFC 🐥

SirChenjins · 16/04/2025 13:58

How can he begin to understand equalities if he can't even spell it?

DialSquare · 16/04/2025 13:58

He reminds me of that Dick Emery character. Or Frank Spencer!

Nevermind the KCs

Today, we are Sunshine Band.

SionnachRuadh · 16/04/2025 13:47

I'm starting to worry about Jolyon. I worry that one of these days he's going to turn up to court with a fishing rod and a bucket of KFC.
