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. As will be seen, the appellant claims he has been unlawfully discriminated against on the basis of his sexual orientation.

First Trio “Married” in The Netherlands

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.

題目Research Shows a Majority of People in Hong Kong Support Gay and Lesbian Couples’ Rights, Not Necessarily Marriage
日期2014
簡介Discussions in Hong Kong about same-sex couples’ rights often focus on the issue of same-sex marriage. However, marriage is not the only way the government could extend rights to same-sex couples. We conducted a public opinion survey to investigate Hong Kong people’s attitudes towards granting same-sex couples a variety of rights, including but not limited to the right to marry. We found that only 27% of the public completely agreed that same-sex couples should be permitted to marry, and 12% said that they somewhat agreed. However, when we asked about rights more generally, our findings were substantially different: 74% of the public supported granting same-sex couples either all or some of the rights that are accorded to heterosexual couples. The remainder of this briefing paper proceeds in two steps. We first provide background on our survey and present our findings. Afterwards, we explore the public policy implications of our research.

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.
