The govt case is being presented..
Appeal begins over same-sex spousal visas - RTHKBefore a five-judge panel in court on Monday, lawyers representing the Director of Immigration said Hong Kong is not obliged to recognise civil partnerships or adopt policies to benefit those who have entered into them abroad.
So being a 'married' person whose husband resides in UK for years she can claim IRD allowance as a 'married' person whilst common law heterosexual couples who actually live together for many years cannot- even worse the partner has to get a Prolong visa status , cannot work and has to depart HKG every six months and go through the whole 6am queue at immigration for visa renewal twice a year.

In recognition of her achievements as Secretary for Development, she was awarded honorary member of the Hong Kong Institute of Landscape Architects, honorary fellow of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, Property Person of the Year in the RICS Hong Kong Property Awards 2012, honorary member of the Hong Kong Institute of Architects, honorary member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, honorary fellow member of the Hong Kong Institute of Architectural Conservationists, and honorary fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers.
During the 2012 Chief Executive election, Lam cracked down on the unauthorised building works of Chief Executive candidate Henry Tang who was contesting Leung Chun-ying. That scandal put paid to Tang’s hopes of becoming Chief Executive. Leung was later found to also have unauthorised building works at his house. Lam was criticised for letting him get away with it.
