Employment judge Sandy Kemp has faced significant backlash since the judgment was published on December 8, amid claims it contained made-up quotes. The lengthy judgment document found the health board harassed Ms Peggie on four accounts but her other claims, including victimisation and discrimination under the Equality Act 2010, were dismissed. In the second certificate of correction, Mr Kemp corrects more “clerical mistake(s), error(s) or omission(s)" contained within the judgment. In quoting the For Women Scotland judgment in the Supreme Court, which clarified the term woman under equalities law, the judgment previously left out the term “trans” in describing a woman. The Claimant, like everyone else, will continue to be subject to the prohibitions on discrimination and harassment under the EqA.
