Legal challenge dismissed
High Court rules: EHRC guidance lawful
The High Court has dismissed a legal challenge from the Good Law Project (GLP) and three anonymous claimants against the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC)’s interim guidance on single-sex services published last year.
Sex Matters intervened in support of the EHRC.
Mr Justice Swift endorsed the interim update that the EHRC published in April last year as an accurate statement of the law for employers and service providers and ruled that “transsexual persons” under the Equality Act have no right to use opposite-sex toilets or changing rooms.
Somewhere, deep inside the forest, a jolyon is raging.
If there’s nobody around to hear him, is he still wrong?

Yes
I’m sorry, Mr. Maugham, this is Mr. Justice Swift’s office. Would you like me to transfer you to Mr. Justice Denied?
