On 8 October 2026, the Court of Session granted the MoD permission to appeal the Employment Tribunal’s August 2024 decision.
This overturns the Employment Appeal Tribunal’s earlier refusal, issued on 9 January 2026, to allow an appeal.
The Court’s reasons have not yet been published, and it is not yet known whether the MoD will proceed with an appeal.
We will continue to provide updates, meanwhile those affected can read the background and guidance information here.
