We are expecting a judgment in Evans & XX vs CQC at 2 pm this afternoon.
Our coverage this morning's appeal hearing can be found here: open.substack.com/pub/tribunaltw…
J - I have produced the written judgment over the lunch time but I will read out the opening part then make it available to the parties for editorial corrections.
A hearing to appeal a JR outcome, there were 2 decisions being appealed.
The first is a license to prescribe cross sex hormones to 16 and 17 years old. And the second is the carrying out of that activity. The judge who gave permission for the JR, said - hormone treatment introduces irreversible changes, this is subject to significant public debate.
We hope to report on an appeal for a judicial review (JR) today. Susan Evans (a former NHS psychiatric nurse and psychotherapist) and "XX" (an anonymised mother), are seeking a JR of a decision to grant a license to grant a licence to Gender Plus Healthcare Ltd
Expected start time is 10:30 in Court Room 75. The initial application for a JR was refused, the claimants are appealing that decision.
A reminder that our reporting is not a transcript; we report what we hear and can transcribe. Appeals are particularly challenging as it is largely legal argument.
