Reacting to the news, Mr Page said: “I am surprised that the Lord Chancellor should seemingly pander to the new political orthodoxy when what it amounts to is social experimentation on the lives of the most vulnerable children in our communities. To punish me and to seek to silence me for expressing a dissenting view is deeply shocking. It is vital the family law courts always have in mind the best interests of the children.” <ref>http://www.christian.org.uk/news/jp-sacked-for-saying-mum-and-dad-best-to-adopt-kids/?e110316</ref><ref>JP sacked for voicing his views against same-sex adoption bbc.co.uk, 10 March 2016</ref>

This case has continued to be appealled and at the latest hearing Mr Page was again unsuccessful in overturning this precedent with the verdict being reported on 19th June 2019.

After the hearing, Mr Page said it showed "a deeply intolerant society" and said he planned to appeal. <ref>https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-48694066<ref>
