- The UK Supreme Court released its judgment in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers, and it has considerable implications for trans individuals and rights, as the Court held that 'sex' under the Equality Act can only be understood as 'biological sex' >
- The Court read various instances in which references to sex, women, and men, are mentioned in the Equality Act, and in other Acts, holding that the ordinary meaning of sex is biological, and that only in interpreting sex in this way the various sections make sense >
- The Court further held that it an find no "good reason" to hold that the legislature intended to have sex protections applied to the "complex" reality of trans people >

- Also, as we were leaving the official dinner, we walked past Tilda Swinton. Was tempted to give her a copy of the book, but didn't want to interrupt. So Tilda, if you want a book on why states should compensate civilians for wrongs in war, let me know where to send it @christianhodell.bsky.social

I offer an account of legitimate imposition of tort liability on states for extraterritorial torts, while arguing that punitive damages are generally illegitimate.
