Hi Phillip,
On 16 April 2025, the UK Supreme Court ruled that the definition of “sex” in the Equality Act 2010 refers to biological sex - not acquired gender or legal sex recognised through a Gender Recognition Certificate.
This case centred on guidance issued by the Scottish Government on how “sex” and “woman” should be interpreted in legislation aimed at improving the representation of women on public boards.
What does this mean for employers and HR professionals?
This is a particularly thorny issue which raises complex legal questions that could create uncertainty and risk for employers.
To help you navigate these challenges, our employment law and HR experts have prepared a short guide that explains:
- The background of the case
- Key points from the Supreme Court’s judgment
- The potential implications for employers
- Practical steps to consider now
Download the guide here: https://wn.worknest.com/e/398692/t-Sex-Means-in-the-Equalit-pdf/dkf8rq/1835372208/h/-Uw4kTJZ6IK_6kwHhb-nhnU_qSPVy5ltfWAUs8Bzn2c
Best wishes,
