The Green Party discriminated against former deputy leader Dr Shahrar Ali because of his gender critical beliefs, a court has ruled.
Dr Ali launched legal action against the Green Party of England and Wales, the first of its kind, after being forced out of his role.
The Green Party admitted "procedural shortfalls" in dismissing Dr Ali.
The Mayor's and City County Court judgement awarded £9,100 in damages to Dr Ali.
All other allegations of discrimination and victimisation by the Green Party were dismissed.
The party removed Dr Ali as spokesman for policing and domestic safety in February 2022 for repeated breaches of the party's Spokespeople Code of Conduct.
In papers submitted to the court, lawyers acting for Dr Ali claim that officials in the Green Party "collaborated" to remove him from his post because of his beliefs about gender, which include the view that "biology is real and immutable".
