Timbrell v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions [2010] EWCA Civ 701; [2010] WLR (D) 155

The Gender Recognition Act 2004 did not have retrospective effect, and since the United Kingdom had failed to implement the relevant Community law Directive within the time permitted so far as concerned acquired gender and rights to pensions, an individual could invoke the Directive as its provisions were unconditional and precise.”
