Tribunal Amends Peggie Ruling After Fabricated Quote Is Found as Nurse Plans Appeal

The corrected judgment leaves unchanged a partial win against NHS Fife with a fact-specific approach to access for trans staff.

Overview

  • The Judicial Office released a corrected version of the 300-plus-page decision, removing a quote wrongly attributed to Maya Forstater and issuing a certificate of correction.
  • Sandie Peggie confirmed she will appeal after the correction, having previously won findings of harassment against NHS Fife but lost on discrimination and all claims against Dr Beth Upton.
  • The tribunal held that allowing a trans woman to use a female staff changing room is not inherently unlawful, emphasizing case-by-case assessment.
  • Dr Upton was cleared entirely, and the textual amendment did not alter the judgment’s overall outcome.
  • Legal specialists note the ruling is a non-binding, first-instance decision, and parties have until 22 December to lodge any appeals.
