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.
