Law chambers discriminated against gender-critical barrister, tribunal rules

Panel awards Allison Bailey payout in row over trans rights but rejects her claim against Stonewall

A barrister who tweeted criticism of the LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall's position on trans rights was unlawfully discriminated against and victimised as a result of her views, an employment tribunal has found.

Allison Bailey, a founder of the gender-critical group LGB Alliance, sued Garden Court Chambers (GCC) and Stonewall, claiming that the latter had instructed or induced discrimination by her chambers.
