簡介This appeal concerns equality under the law and involves an application of the legal principles identified and applied in this Court’s recent decision in QT v Director of Immigration. It arises in the context of a claim to entitlement to spousal medical and dental benefits under the Civil Service Regulations (“CSRs”) and to opt for joint assessment of salaries tax under the Inland Revenue Ordinance.

題目CONSTITUTIONAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE LAW LIST NO 2682 OF 2018
日期20200918
簡介On 26 November 2018, the Applicant (a Hong Kong permanent resident and a homosexual) applied to judicially review the laws of Hong Kong insofar as they did not allow same-sex couples to marry (“1st JR Ground”), or they failed to provide any alternative means of legal recognition of same-sex partnership (such as civil union or registered partnership) (“2nd JR Ground”), or they failed to recognize same-sex marriage entered into outside Hong Kong (“3rd JR Ground”). The Applicant complained that there was violation of:- (1) his right to equality, or protection against discrimination on the ground of his sexual orientation, under Article 25 of the Basic Law (“BL”) and Article 22 of the Hong Kong Bill of Rights (“HKBOR”); and (2) his right to privacy under Article 14 of the HKBOR.

First Trio “Married” in The Netherlands

範疇(F) 同運動態 1.ii. 同性婚姻（案例）.外國
編號F1ii0011
作者Paul Belien
題目First Trio “Married” in The Netherlands
日期20050926
簡介The Netherlands and Belgium were the first countries to give full marriage rights to homosexuals. In the United States some politicians propose “civil unions” that give homosexual couples the full benefits and responsibilities of marriage. These civil unions differ from marriage only in name. Meanwhile in the Netherlands polygamy has been legalised in all but name. The first civil union of three partners was registered. Victor de Bruijn (46) from Roosendaal “married” both Bianca (31) and Mirjam (35) in a ceremony before a notary who duly registered their civil union.

Somerville recognizes polyamorous domestic partnerships

範疇(F) 同運動態 1.ii. 同性婚姻（案例）.外國
編號F1ii0010
作者Julia Taliesin
題目Somerville recognizes polyamorous domestic partnerships
日期20200701
簡介Somerville quietly became one of the first cities in the nation – if not the first – to recognize polyamorous domestic partnerships. The historic move was a result of a few subtle language shifts. For example, instead of being defined as an “entity formed by two persons,” Somerville’s ordinance defines a domestic partnership as an “entity formed by people,” replaces “he and she” with “they,” replaces “both” with “all,” and contains other inclusive language.

簡介美國馬薩諸塞州的城市薩默維爾市議會通過新例，制度化「多人民事結合」，成為據悉是首個制度化多人民事結合關係的地區。麻省當地媒體Wicked Local報道，「薩默維爾市悄悄地成為全國率先承認多人民事結合的城市之一——若不是首個的話」。但這歷史性的改變——就像制度化同性婚姻一樣，主要只需改動個別字眼便完成，由「兩個人組成的實體」改為「由人組成的實體」；由「他及她」改成「他們」以及由「兩人」改為「所有人」等。
