We’re challenging the EHRC’s interim guidance

The ‘interim guidance’ that the EHRC issued after the Supreme Court’s decision on trans rights was transphobic, harmful – and legally wrong. We’re bringing a challenge in the High Court.

Case overview

Good Law Project has filed an application for judicial review against the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) and the equalities minister Bridget Phillipson.

Our challenge raises two main points. First, that the EHRC was wrong to say employers need to provide gendered toilets. When we issued the claim, the EHRC caved on this point and changed its guidance. And, second, that it is permissible to provide trans inclusive men’s and women’s toilets (and indeed other facilities).
