Gender Critical Beliefs recognised as a Protected Characteristic in Discrimination Law - Forstater v CGD Europe
Resource
In a landmark judgment, Doyle Clayton’s client Maya Forstater has succeeded in securing discrimination protections for those who hold gender critical beliefs. Maya Forstater was represented by Peter Daly, a partner at Doyle Clayton, who instructed barristers Ben Cooper QC and Anya Palmer of Old Square Chambers. This is a case which has generated considerable international publicity, particularly after JK Rowling tweeted in support of Ms Forstater following her initial lower tribunal case. The ongoing international debate around issues of sex and gender will be significantly altered by this case.
