The UK Supreme Court released its judgment in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers, and it has considerable implications for trans individuals and rights, as the Court held that 'sex' under the Equality Act can only be understood as 'biological sex' >

'Myths and misconceptions in extraterritorial torts' is now out w/ University of Toronto Law Journal utppublishing.com/doi/abs/10.3.... I offer an account of legitimate imposition of tort liability on states for extraterritorial torts, while arguing that punitive damages are generally illegitimate.

Myths and misconceptions in extraterritorial torts | University of Toronto Law Journal

States’ ability to impose liability for extraterritorial torts is often structured to avoid an illegitimate assertion of authority by one state over another. However, the resulting liability regimes are inconsistent and difficult to justify. In this article, I argue that limitations of liability in this context have been based on misconceptions about abuse of power. I employ instrumental and rights-based approaches to states’ authority to demarcate a coherent framework for states’ liability for extraterritorial torts. I show that courts can impose liability on their own state and officials for extraterritorial torts as authority is not exerted over a foreign state. Liability can also be imposed on foreign states for their extraterritorial torts through consent, a sufficient jurisdictional connection to the tort, or the establishment of universal jurisdiction by a breach of jus cogens norms. Lastly, I assert that punitive damages are generally an illegitimate form of exerting authority.
