PQ vs Andreas Mueller & Others

Andreas Mueller is being taken to an employment tribunal for making gender critical statements and for being a founding member of the Sex Equality and Equity Network in the Civil Service (SEEN CS).

A colleague is taking Mueller, a government department and the Arms-Length Body (ALB) where he works to an Employment Tribunal. The claimant is also seeking to shut down the SEEN CS staff network.

Status

A two day preliminary hearing is taking place on 22 & 23 April 2025. The claimant has made an application for anonymity in the case. The decision on anonymity is pending. The second substantial matter for the preliminary hearing is an application for strike out. Mueller is seeking strike out on the grounds that the claim is vexatious and has no reasonable chance of success.

We hope to be able to report on the application for strike out.
