I think she now has to go before another employment tribunal.

A previous story about it:

Mrs Higgs, who posted on Facebook under her maiden name, shared two posts in October 2018 to around 100 friends, one of which referred to 'brainwashing our children'.

One post read: 'Children will be taught that all relationships are equally valid and 'normal', so that same sex marriage is exactly the same as traditional marriage, and gender is a matter of choice, not biology, so that it's up to them what sex they are.

'We say again this is a vicious form of totalitarianism aimed at suppressing Christianity and removing it from the public arena.'

An anonymous complaint was made to the school and Mrs Higgs was suspended and later dismissed for gross misconduct following a disciplinary hearing.

She hasn't 'won an appeal'. She has been granted the right to appeal the decision of the lower (Bristol) Tribunal, to the Employment Appeals Tribunal. This decision does not imply any judgement at this stage about the merit of the appeal, just that it 'potentially raises important issues'.

As far as I can see, she won an appeal.

In its ruling in 2020, the tribunal concluded her religion is a “protected characteristic” as defined by the Equality Act but the school lawfully dismissed her.

Mrs Higgs appealed against that judgment to the Employment Appeal Tribunal in London, which has now ruled in her favour.

Mrs Justice Eady allowed the appeal and remitted the case back to an employment tribunal for a fresh determination.

I messed up by using a 2021 article in the first post. I thought it was a new article.

To be clear, she did just win her appeal, and the Standard link has the new part of the story.

So now the EAT has remitted the case back to the original Tribunal to be re-heard. We now await the verdict from that.

Yes, she won the appeal like Maya Forstater did. Maya still had to win her case in the lower court, which as we know she did.
