Update #16 – I’m off to the Court of Appeal – Permission granted

Good News:

Permission has just been granted by the Court of Appeal in Bailey v Stonewall Equality Limited. The reasons for granting permission are encouraging:

“The grounds have a real prospect of success but, in any event, raise issues of some general importance which should be considered by this Court. In particular, an issue arises as to the correct interpretation of section 111 of the Equality Act 2010 which does not seem to be the subject of previous authority. There is therefore a compelling reason to grant permission to appeal.”

We are listed for a hearing lasting 1 1/2 days. I will let you know when we get the listing, which will likely be next year at the earliest.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me.

All best wishes,
Allison
