Higgs appeal: second attempt

Earlier today I posted a link to the appeal court that had been doing the rounds on Twitter but which Mumsnet says is illegal.

For those with an interest in the workings of the law and an interest in EATs, you should be able to find today's two sessions if you search You Tube Court of Appeal Civil Division Court 71.

Sex Matters has a very useful guide to the background behind the Higgs appeal here:

I'm not a lawyer, but I've watched several of these tribunals. Today's hearing is different from past appeals because in effect Higgs' appeal has already been upheld and this hearing is intended to clarify the law. Perhaps because what's being debated are the finer points of difficult law, it's been difficult to have much idea of what's actually going on. If any lawyers out there could shed some light it would be much appreciated.

I was hoping to see some clarification too! Just been following along and struggling. There seems to be discussion about whether this was direct and indirect discrimination? Would love someone who understands to summarise what's going on!

That’s a very interesting link Pluvia, I enjoyed reading through the arguments and analysis. Thanks for posting.
