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.
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.
This is not to decide if this is a good treatment but whether the CQC exercised its powers appropriately. There are 3 grounds of appeal, I have refused appeal on all 3 grounds as they have no reasonable possible chance of success.
A copy of the judgment is distributed to the barristers and the Judge has asked for any editorial corrections from the parties by tomorrow at 12 pm.
