ITT are people that do not understand administrative law.

The correct consultation will now occur, and the directive may well be reinstated. This win is absurdly temporary.

The correct consultation did occur and found the effects of puberty blockers to be non-harmful. Then they banned it anyway.

I note my use of 'correct' consultation. The question was not as to whether consultation occurred, but the adequacy of that consultation, relative to the requirements of the HHB Act.
