Court upholds EHRC guidance on single-sex toilets in the workplace

Bit of background:

This is the case the GLP originally lost but Jolyon declared it a big win, making lots of trans people believe they had overturned the Supreme Court judgement or something.

Slowly reality dawned and even trans Reddit began to whisper that the Grift Law Project might be manipulative liars. No!!

So they appealed the judgement that they had definitely won, and have now - lost. Again.

Is this sparkles et al or another group of men struggling with the meaning of no

A man who thinks he's a woman, a woman who thinks he's a man, and someone who thinks they are "intersex" 🤔

I don't believe their names have been disclosed.

Sparkles is a different barrel of fun.

Another loss chalked up to the GLP? That spreadsheet must be running out of red!

Has the appeal been heard already?

The links in your OP are to the original judgment which GLP said they would appeal. I can't find anything that says the appeal has happened yet.

Am I getting confuzzled? Because this has just been published today.

I think it's just the original judgment published rather late.

Thanks, I was getting ahead of myself there 😄

Well to be fair it's a job in itself to keep track of the GLP's far fetched claims.

It's The Times law section report on the original hearing. In the olden days, cases would be reported in the All England Law Reports, another publication (that I can't recall the name of), or alternatively The Times. Those three publications could all be cited in submissions. Indices would be published annually, and lawyers would have bound copies of their favoured report on their bookshelves - the leatherbound books that forms the favourite backdrop to a solicitor's very serious at-the-desk photograph. My father would get very excited when a new issue of the AELR dropped on the door mat!

It's all rather different now.

Thank you for the explanation. I have no idea what it means.

😬

I'm sorry, I didn't really say what I meant to say very well. The Times newspaper has a special "law reports" section - distinct from its news reporting. They're written by lawyers, for lawyers, buried inside the paper near the (royal) court circulars and the like. They come out some time after the judgment is handed down (in this case the report in April and the judgment in February.) I think this link is to one such report.

The law reports in the Times have a special significance, they alone amongst daily papers can be cited in court papers as case references. That was a very big deal before internet access and online searching. The All England Law Reports and The Law Reports covered most of the precedential cases of interest as publications of record, but sometimes a judgment would pop up in the Times legal pages too.

That is a real help, thank you for taking the time to explain.

There are a lot of people sharing that page from The Times on X, we all clearly thought the same thing 😆
