The Scottish Government has mounted a legal challenge over the UK Government’s block on gender legislation passed in Holyrood.
Charities will be able to present their written argument in the legal challenge over gender reform
The three-day hearing is expected to begin at Edinburgh’s Court of Session on September 19, with the Scottish Government presenting its case first. But the Scottish Government has said the intervention gives the UK Government the ability to veto laws passed in Holyrood. “It would also bring Scotland into line with international best practice. More than 30 countries or territories around the world such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland have similar or more progressive laws and we want Scotland to join them so our trans friends, family and colleagues can live their lives with dignity.”
