Ms Forstater said a reference to her case against the Centre for Global Development Europe was “completely made up”.
The Peggie ruling stated: “There are different protected characteristics under the (Equality) Act but there is nothing stated specifically within the Act itself, or the court’s decision, that one protected characteristic takes precedence over any other.
“In Forstater v CDG Europe and others UKEAT/0105/20 the Employment Appeal Tribunal had emphasised that: ‘It is important to bear in mind that the [Equality Act 2010] does not create a hierarchy of protected characteristics.'”
On the social media platform X, Ms Forstater posted a screenshot of the text from the tribunal and said: “One of the many things wrong with the Sandie Peggie judgment.
“This “quote” from my judgment doesn’t come from my judgment. It is completely made up.
Ms Forstater has since told the Courier newspaper that she knew the judgment “inside out” and knew the words were not there.
The amendment is not expected to change the verdict itself.
