A Hong Kong court on Tuesday upheld a ruling that favored the granting of equal inheritance rights to same-sex couples, in the latest victory for the city's LGBTQ+ community. The decision by the Court of Appeal rejected the government's motion against the ruling that said the differential treatment facing same-sex married couples under two inheritance laws in the city constitutes unlawful discrimination. Justice of Appeal Thomas Au wrote that it is “an unacceptably harsh burden" on Hong Kong same-sex couples married overseas given the denial of entitlements under the laws.
