Permission denied

Sex Matters has good news.

The Court of Appeal has refused permission to the Good Law Project (GLP) to continue to challenge to the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC)’s interim guidance on single-sex facilities.

In February the High Court refused GLP permission to bring its claim for because it lacked “sufficient interest” to standing, and rejected a claim brought by the three individual claimants that the EHRC’s update was unlawful. It upheld the lawfulness of the EHRC’s interim update. Sex Matters intervened in the case in support of the EHRC.

Lady Justice Andrews has now refused Good Law Project (GLP) permission to appeal and adjourned the three individual claimants’ application to an oral permission hearing.

Take that, Joly! Wallop!
