Q V. COMMISSIONER OF REGISTRATION (and 1 other)

Q and Tse Henry Edward, two transgender persons, had their appeals regarding the right to change the sex marker on identity cards adjourned by consent to allow London counsel to attend the hearing remotely, given Hong Kong's COVID-19 quarantine requirements. The cases raised fundamental questions about the recognition of gender identity under the Basic Law and the Bill of Rights. The adjournment was granted with appropriate procedural orders.
