In Conversation with Akua Reindorf

This week, Heather Binning is joined by barrister Akua Reindorf KC to discuss the legal and institutional fallout from the Supreme Court’s April 2025 judgment. Akua was closely involved in the developments surrounding the case, both through her work as an Equality and Human Rights Commissioner and through her prominent role as a public legal commentator.
Drawing on that experience, she reflects on the responsibilities of public bodies following a definitive ruling from the UK’s highest court. Akua argues that once the Supreme Court had clarified the law, public authorities and regulators had a clear and immediate duty to implement it promptly and transparently.
Akua explains why, in her view, there is no legal justification for institutions to delay compliance or for the UK government to postpone the long-awaited Statutory Code of Practice, stressing that regulators cannot simply defer difficult decisions or wait for political consensus when the law itself has already been settled.
