His commitment to open discussion on Twitter (even with people of obviously bad faith) was over and above - the hour came, and we are fortunate that so too did Dr Michael Foran…

As a lawyer, who was an academic at Glasgow University before Michael was born, I have read Michael’s contributions since the start and have greatly welcomed them for their clarity and thoroughness. He deserves every word of praise.

This is an excellent article and the praise for Michael Foran is so well deserved. He has contributed greatly to the legal knowledge that women involved in this fight have had to learn and has done so with great patience and understanding. We were already indebted for the legal advice and patience of many lawyers and legal experts who put their heads above the parapets to explain the minutiae of legal decisions and arguments. Then Michael popped his head up and off we went learning even more. I am sure all women here feel indebted to these clever, wise people who have educated us in a subject that we would have preferred had not become such an appalling issue. The SC judgement brought clarity to the EA 2010 and has changed the course of history and women are eternally grateful to you.
