Lot of court case updates recently! This is entirely separate from Allison Bailey's case, just to be clear.

Tavistock is trying to appeal the decision made by the High Court (UK). Given that their own data (released after the Keira Bell ruling) on puberty blockers highlights how harmful they can be, I'm curious how this will go.

Ok, so I went and checked, and the appeal is mentioned here. Should we be donating? Will they need more money for a second round of legal fees? Could someone give me the quick rundown on how appeals work?

I have no idea but am also curious.

Ok, she said:

It is vital that myself and Mrs A are able to defend the judgment and this means I will need to raise significant funds to cover our legal expenses for this next stage. Although we won the case at the High Court, the amount of costs we were able to recover was limited by the court to £35,000. Even with the funds we had raised this left a significant deficit. I hope to also cover these costs. I will need to raise an initial sum of £20,000 and will need to stretch this to at least £75,000.
