NHS Nurse to Appeal After Tribunal Backs Harassment Claim, Draws Political Fire

Her team moves to challenge the decision following a correction to the published judgment.

Overview

  • The employment tribunal upheld Sandie Peggie’s harassment claims against NHS Fife but dismissed discrimination, indirect discrimination and victimisation allegations.
  • Peggie’s legal team confirmed she will appeal the ruling following this month’s judgment.
  • The tribunal issued a certificate of correction amending a paragraph in the 312-page judgment, which did not alter the outcome.
  • UK Conservative politician Kemi Badenoch praised Peggie and criticised the tribunal ruling as “pathetic,” intensifying the political reaction.
  • The dispute began after Peggie objected to a trans colleague using a women-only changing room, and she says the case has cost her friendships and brought no apology from NHS Fife.
