I very much hope @iandunt.bsky.social reads @akuareindorfkc.bsky.social 's forensic analysis of the multiple and serious legal errors in his recent Substack on the EHRC's Code of Practice. withinthelaw.substack.com/p/the-ehrc-c...

"THE EHRC CODE EXPLAINED": A RESPONSE TO IAN DUNT | Part 1

This article is a personal opinion piece and does not constitute legal advice.

GLP’s “indemnity” is nonsense. The ultimate legal risk for charities/trustees who are breaching their charitable objects is the removal of charitable status by the Charity Commission. It’s impossible for GLP to indemnify that risk, because it’s not a financial risk. bsky.app/profile/good...

The Judge rejected, in their entirety, the Good Law Projects contentions that the guidance was wrong in law. See in particular paragraphs 75-80 of the judgment. It is deplorable that an MP cannot give an accurate account of a court judgment. You should delete your post above.

So depressing to see a Labour MP push misinformation like this. The judgment @kateosbornemp.bsky.social refers to is here: goodlawproject.org/wp-content/u.... Will she say which paragraph/s say “the EHRC’s draft code of practice got the law wrong”? No. Because none do. bsky.app/profile/kate...

The High Court today confirms that the EHRC's draft code of practice got the law wrong and must be changed. Women's and men's toilets can be provided on a trans- inclusive basis for customers and service users.

It is... not good... that sharing an article published in The Economist is flagged by moderation as "intolerance".

Guardian and Observer journalists have asked people not to share Guardian stories for 48 hours from midnight tonight (Tues), to respect their strike and the virtual picket line

The CA has given permission to appeal in Barton Turns v Treadwell, the HHJ Martyn Barklem judgment which ignored Wicked Vision & followed the orthodox position on Osipov. It's been consolidated with Wicked Vision for hearing next October to allow the CA to bring back clarity (1 way or another)

I lost this ring in the toilets in Bounce in Farringdon tonight. It’s hardly worth anything, but it’s a ring my dad gave my mum and it’s priceless to me now that he’s not here. It’s gold, with a diagonal band of green stones on it. If you find it can you please get it back to me

I've done a quick round-up of pre-reading for anyone interested in following FWS v Scottish Ministers next week: www.legalfeminist.org.uk/2024/11/23/f... I haven't been able to find any substantial commentary arguing that SG should win. Please link in reply if you know of any, and I'll add it.

FWS v Scottish Ministers: what to read before the hearing -

The hearing next week before the Supreme Court of For Women Scotland v Scottish Ministers is a big deal. Previous cases in the appellate courts have had serious implications for the impact of gender r...

Utterly absurd, and wrong, that this post is marked by @bsky.app as "intolerance". In reality it consists of links to serious legal analysis, from someone whose opinion you might agree or disagree with.

After the FW outer house decision I had a conversation with @naomicunningham.bsky.social where she suggested the interpretation now essentially that argued by Sex Matters. At that point she was I think a lone voice. But review of the issues of interpretation makes her argument more & more compelling

The Scottish Government has now published its submission, which can be accessed here. www.gov.scot/publications...

This gives me far too much credit. It was Maya Forstater who first persuaded me that there had to be a respectable argument that the GRA didn't stick its spanner into the works of the EqA; and @michaelpforan.bsky.social who did the detailed doctrinal work of putting that argument together.

He gets more than his fair share of abuse, we disagree often, but this piece by @michaelpforan.bsky.social is the best lawyering that I have read this week, in any field. It is detailed, but changed my view on "What is a Woman" in law knowingius.org/p/uk-supreme...

There’s no verification on this site, so it’s hard to be sure what you’re looking at. The Kemi Badenoch account on here is fake, her team tell me

Right now this place is early Twitter. As it gets popular the people it brings won’t be to the liking of the early adopter clique. But that’s social media. It’s not your WhatsApp groups. It’s all human life. Pretending the problem is bots is delusion.

Many of the claims made for this place are doubtless justified. But note how @naomicunningham.bsky.social ‘s posts are labelled ‘intolerant’. You won’t see them in full unless you click on them. When you do, you discover a statement of fact. Something to bear in mind, I think.

Turns out a hardcore of keyboard warriors here have caused everything written by @naomicunningham.bsky.social to be branded as intolerant. Including this, about a free to use app. Utterly spineless by @bsky.app and a pathetic example of pusillanimity
