The Minister for Women and Equalities made no overall submission on whether the Claimants’ claim should succeed or fail, but did make submissions on this point. She submitted that if single-sex lavatories were provided they could continue to be a single sex-service for the purpose of the provisions in Schedule 3 to EA 2010 notwithstanding what she referred to as “derogations” – i.e., situations where (taking lavatories as the example) a man used the female lavatory. The examples relied on were of a piece with those the Claimants relied on. Based on those examples the Minister submitted that a trans-inclusive lavatory (as above, see paragraph 38) could continue to have the protection of one or both of the exceptions at paragraph 26 and 27 of Schedule 3 to the EA 2010 as a single-sex provision.
It does suck, but hopefully sooner rather than later a ECtHR judgement comes against however it will take time as domestic court options have to be exhausted. So try to wait it out
They could be counted as single sex spaces and therefore this guidance could be seen as applying to them
This is written where? If they could do this that would’ve been a thing ages ago
Bathroom have been refered to as single sex in court cases before for exmaple see - https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/good-law-project-EHRC-AC-2025-1953-judgment-13Feb26.pdf
