Good Law Project v EHRC: High Court Upholds Interim Guidance

The High Court dismissed the Good Law Project's judicial review challenging the EHRC's interim guidance on single-sex spaces. Mr Justice Swift ruled that the EHRC had accurately summarised the law following the For Women Scotland ruling, confirming that 'sex' in workplace regulations refers to biological sex. However, the judge noted that providing only biologically single-sex facilities with no additional provision might itself constitute discrimination against trans people.
