Helen Trotter successfully resisted an appeal in the Court of Appeal, on 17 October 2017, concerning the correct interpretation of “substantial disadvantage” under the Equality Act 2010. Helen was led by Sean Jones QC, of 11KBW; they appeared before LJ Gloster DBE and LJ Singh, and the appellant’s appeal was unanimously dismissed by the Judges. The Appellant asked for, but was refused, permission to appeal to the Supreme Court, and has indicated his intention to renew that application to the Court above.
