Tribunal Tweets are not live tweeting this but will be updating during breaks.

There does appear to be one person live tweeting though and I found her latest tweet interesting:

"The EHRC says the new ETA for the draft Code of Practice is the end of December and suggests that the wordings in the Interim Update will not be included in the draft Code."

I'm sure that there will be a lot more coming out when TT start reporting

As I understand it (I may be wrong) a "rolled up" hearing is one where both the initial permission is dealt with and then, if permission to proceed is given, then the actual, substantive hearing then takes place immediately afterwards.

So it's done in one hearing rather than, potentially, two separate hearings.

Would be really fucking funny if they turn up in November and start with the permission hearing and then the judge says, "No, sorry, this is bollocks, you can all piss off home" and four months' worth of work is wasted.

But on the whole I'd prefer to have tribunal tweets for the whole lot.

@Another2Cats it was the ‘resubmit with clarity’ part that made me think there was an issue with GLP’s case.

I agree with you, I think it may be down to GLP originally saying that one part of the guidance was wrong (about single sex toilets in workplaces) and the EHRC then admitting that was correct.

From that bsky account, she later went on to say:

"The EHRC is still seeking to have the claim struck out on the grounds that it has not been properly pleaded, arguing that changes to the Interim Update fixes everything and that GLP’s failure to specify the exact publication date are relevant."

Then in the next post says:

"Swift J says the changes are immaterial and notes that GLP’s challenge had a target, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a moving target. He also inquires whether there will be a future version of the Interim Update, but the EHRC could not provide an answer."

So it sounds like they do need to reword their claim in some way.

Why can that person live tweet (or whatever the bluesky equivalent is), when Tribunal Tweets were denied permission?

They should not be live tweeting.

Does this mean what I think it does? “GLP sort yourself out, come up with a decent case by tomorrow or give up!”?

An update from
@MForstater
from the High Court permissions hearing on
@GoodLawProject
v
@EHRC
. No decision made, and no discussion of the substantive issues. The Good Law Project have been told to sort out their pleadings and resubmit them tomorrow with clarity about what the issues are. There will be a "rolled up" two day hearing in November.

What's the legalese for "I'm sad about it"?

Sad times? 😁
