The Supreme Court ruling in For Women Scotland, on the application of the Equality Act 2010 has sparked widespread confusion among proprietors of sports clubs, cafes and other venues. How do they provide an inclusive environment and stay on the right side of the law? In this week’s issue of NLJ, Fiona McAnena, of campaign group Sex Matters, and Anya Palmer, Old Square Chambers, assert that the judgment is ‘a model of clarity’. They share their consideration of the landmark judgment, and what it means for sports clubs, employers and proprietors
