簡介周家明法官在2019年10月18日對MK案作出重大的裁決，只是媒體不多報道。我們認為他維護一夫一妻制的判決合情合理，思路清晰，顯示他下了不少工夫，而且這案件的涵義與每個香港市民都息息相關，實在值得更多人認識。為此緣故，我們為英文的裁決作出以下的中文撮譯，在不影響原文表達的意思的大前提下，省略了一些字眼和較技術性的論點，以令一般人都可看得明白。撮譯者是招雋寧先生，編緝工作由香港性文化學會擔任，歡迎把此廣傳。

Seminar on Third-Party interventions in Court Cases on Same-sex Partnership Rights – Insights and Implications

題目Seminar on Third-Party interventions in Court Cases on Same-sex Partnership Rights – Insights and Implications
日期20180621
簡介Over the last two years, international human rights organizations, banks and law firms have applied to intervene as third parties in local courts in the Angus Leung case and the QT case. The Court of Final Appeal in April 2018 dismissed three separate applications by Amnesty international and 31 financial institutions and law firms to intervene in the government appeal in QT, which was heard in early June. Although not all were accepted, these applications to intervene in Leung and QT set further precedents for NGOs, law firms and the business sector to intervene in legal cases alleging human rights violations of same-sex couples. The seminar serve as a platform to learn and share rationale, experience and insight of advancing rights for same-sed couples through intervening in strategic legal cases.
