— The High Court had dismissed proceedings rather than adjourn because it could not see any realistic basis for overriding the 16-year-old's consent for cross-sex hormones. The Court of Appeal reversed that decision because: (1) Gender Plus, a private provider, could not satisfy all the Cass Review recommendations, including that every medical treatment case be considered by a national MDT; (2) the Cass Review had only just been published when the judge heard the application, and there was sufficient doubt as to what is proper and appropriate in this area.
