Update as of 8 April 2026
On 29 January 2026, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) was refused permission by an Employment Appeal Tribunal to challenge the Milroy decision. In late March, the MOD submitted a further application to the Court of Session seeking permission to appeal.
The Court of Session will now decide whether it will consider the case. This decision could take anywhere from a few weeks to up to six months.
Updates will be shared as soon as more information is available.
In the meantime our previous guidance to those who may have been affected by this case still stands and can be found here.
