Sandie Peggie’s legal team claims tribunal applied ‘wrong legal analysis’
Peggie’s lawyers say the tribunal used the wrong legal analysis and seek to revive claims of harassment, indirect discrimination and victimisation.
- On Friday, Sandie Peggie's legal team published her appeal grounds against the NHS Fife employment tribunal judgment, following confirmation that the case will proceed to a full hearing at the Employment Appeal Tribunal.
- Peggie took action against NHS Fife after sharing changing facilities at Victoria Hospital with Dr. Beth Upton in December 2023, eventually winning a partial victory on harassment claims but losing allegations of discrimination and victimisation.
- Challenging the tribunal's analysis, the appeal contends NHS Fife "could not lawfully give permission" for Upton to use the women's changing room and applied "wrong legal analysis" regarding the Equality Act.
- Employment Appeal Tribunal Judge James Tayler found reasonable grounds for 13 of the 14 grounds of appeal, allowing the majority of the case to proceed to full hearing.
- Scheduled for next year, the full appeal hearing occurs against the backdrop of Supreme Court rulings clarifying that terms like "woman" and "sex" in the Equality Act refer to biological sex.
