Good Law Project loses challenge to interim EHRC advice on single-sex spaces

Judge rejects argument that advice is legally flawed and excludes trans people from services they have long used

The Good Law Project (GLP) has lost its legal challenge to interim advice released by the UK equalities watchdog that in effect said transgender people should be banned from using bathroom and changing facilities according to their lived gender.

The advice from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), which has since been withdrawn from its website, was published soon after the landmark supreme court ruling on biological sex last April.
