The High Court has ruled that a legal challenge over trans access to Hampstead ponds cannot proceed. The City of London Corporation's policy allows trans men and trans women to use the pond of their choice. Campaign group Sex Matters applied for a judicial review, arguing the policy was unlawful. Sex Matters relied on an April 2025 Supreme Court ruling that defined 'woman' by biological sex under the Equality Act 2010. The judicial review application was blocked from proceeding by the High Court. Further legal or administrative steps are not detailed in the available information.
