Sandie Peggie Gets Go-Head for Employment Tribunal Appeal
Her lawyers say the health board has 28 days to respond as she challenges a ruling that found harassment but dismissed most other claims.
- On Monday, Nurse Sandie Peggie's legal team announced her appeal against the NHS Fife employment tribunal judgment will proceed, with His Honour Judge James Tayler confirming 13 grounds for appeal on July 30, 2026.
- In December 2023, Peggie objected to sharing female changing facilities with transgender medic Dr Beth Upton at Kirkcaldy's Victoria Hospital, leading to a December 2025 tribunal ruling that upheld harassment claims but dismissed discrimination allegations.
- Forced corrections followed criticism of the original judgment, which included removal of "made up" quotes regarding gender definitions; critics argued Judge Sandy Kemp ignored Supreme Court rulings on the Equality Act 2010.
- NHS Fife now has 28 days to respond to the served notice of appeal, with legal representatives expecting the full hearing in the "first half of 2027" involving potential evidence from Upton.
- Peggie, who stated she won't give up her legal fight, maintains women should not undress in front of men in private spaces; the high-profile case has already cost taxpayers £320,000.
