Abbreviations:
C or MK - Claimant, Maria Kelly
NC - Naomi Cunningham, barrister for C
KW - Katy Wedderburn, solicitor for C
R or L - Respondent. Leonardo UK
ST - Susanne Tanner KC, barrister for R
J - Judge
P - Panel member
GC - gender critical
GI - gender identity

Apologies - we are still waiting to be let into the remote hearing room from the waiting room.

We are still in the waiting room and being told the parties are still in a private meeting. As it is approaching lunchtime we may not have a public session for some time, but we'll keep you informed when we know anything concrete.

We are now waiting in the virtual hearing room. The clerk has posted the following:
"The hearing is currently still dealing with case management matters and the hearing should be starting fairly soon".

We've just had another message from the clerk:
"Dear all the hearing has been adjourned till 10am tomorrow. there will be no hearing today"

We will be reporting again tomorrow for the duration of the case, which is due to last the rest of this week.
