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.
