Sinopse
The UK Supreme Court has ruled that the term woman should be based on biological sex. The judges ruled that the 2010 Equality Act's sex based protections only apply to biological women. The decision has been hotly contested after the Scottish Government argued that transgender people with a gender recognition certificate were entitled to them. Liam Hehir, partner at Freebairn and Hehir Lawyers, says it's a significant ruling for the purposes of the Equality Act - but it has its' boundaries.
