I think in terms of the society at large in the UK the outcome of the Bailey case will have a larger effect, and here's why: Yes, the charges against Stonewall were dropped, but effectively on a technicality. Basically the reasoning was, GCC didn't have to take their advice. But that's their whole raison d'etre right now, handing out advice on how best to comply with equality law, especially pertaining to gender, their whole thing is going above and beyond what the EHRC recommends. But as the judgement stated, in going above and beyond in one area you risk violating the law in another area, that's the problem with equality law, it's a delicate scale in a good number of areas. So what exactly do Stonewall do for businesses? If their advice leaves the business open to litigation and after the fact they're just going to shrug and say "Well you didn't have to follow our advice", why should businesses pay them in the first place? I honestly think the Bailey case was destined to be a PR disaster for them, win or lose, as soon as it was determined she was allowed to go ahead with it, because either way it suggested there was some legitimacy to the claim Stonewall were handing out incorrect advice pertaining to equality law
