Judge Issues Second Correction Adding 11 Fixes to Sandie Peggie Tribunal Ruling

The expanded errata intensifies questions over the ruling’s accuracy.

Overview

  • A new certificate lists 11 further changes to the 312‑page judgment, including corrected case names, terminology substitutions, and the removal of a passage that relied on a non‑existent Supreme Court quote, with the tribunal outcome unchanged.
  • One amendment revises the ruling’s definition of a “trans man” to a person assigned female at birth, reflecting phrasing cited from recent Supreme Court language on sex in law.
  • The Times reports a discrepancy in the update, noting the notice referred to deleting one sentence from a paragraph while three sentences are missing in the revised text.
  • Oxford law academic Michael Foran calls the scale and nature of the revisions an unprecedented use of a power intended for clerical errors and questions the deletion of quotations suspected of being fabricated.
  • Nurse Sandie Peggie plans to appeal, while political figures such as Scottish Conservative Tess White criticize the number and timing of the corrections and call for explanations.
