This morning’s High Court judgment refused the judicial review application brought by Sex Matters against the City of London Corporation.
The challenge was against rules allowing trans people to use the single-sex facilities at Hampstead Heath's swimming ponds.
Mrs. Justice Lieven was clear that the claim was premature, and that it would be wrong for the courts to cut across a lawful, careful, and evidence-based decision-making process. The Corporation, she held, was entitled to conduct a full consultation and consider all options before reaching a final decision.
