Pressure is mounting on NHS Fife to concede the Sandie Peggie case after the Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday that the terms "woman" and "sex" in the Equality Act 2010 refer to a biological woman and biological sex. The landmark decision came after campaign group For Women Scotland launched a series of challenges over the definition of "woman" in Scottish legislation mandating 50% female representation on public boards.

Lord Hodge's ruling is likely to have a huge impact on the transgender debate that has raged in Scotland for the past seven years. It comes amid an ongoing employment tribunal for Fife nurse Ms Peggie.
