A militant trans activist, appointed as a lay Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) panel member, has been removed from a Christian’s unfair dismissal case because of the appearance of bias.

Kristie Higgs claimed unfair dismissal by her school after she was sacked in 2019 for sharing social media posts criticising the introduction of teaching about LGBT relationships in primary school. She lost her claim at the Employment Tribunal and her appeal was due to be heard in June.

However, it emerged that panel member Edward Lord OBE had made three public statements on Twitter relating to key issues in the case. Furthermore, Mx Lord (as he is referred to) publicly holds strong views opposed to ‘gender critical’ views, which he equates with ‘transphobia’.
