Permission to appeal was refused in challenges to the armed forces disability-discrimination exemption under the Equality Act 2010 and Human Rights Act 1998.
Following the Supreme Court's decision in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers, 'sex' in the Equality Act 2010 refers to biological sex. The claimant's exclusion from female competitions was based on her biological sex, not gender reassignment, and thus does not constitute gender reassignment discrimination. As no claim for sex discrimination was pleaded, the claim fails. Even if gender reassignment discrimination were alleged, exclusion would be justified as pool is a gender-affected activity and exclusion is necessary to secure fair competition.
