The Court granted leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal under section 22(1)(b) of the CFA Ordinance because the construction issue (whether "woman" and "female" in ss.21 and 40 of the Marriage Ordinance include a post-operative male-to-female transsexual) and the related constitutional issue (whether those provisions are unconstitutional under Article 37 Basic Law and/or Articles 19(2) and 14 of the Bill of Rights) are questions of sufficient general or public importance to warrant determination by the Court of Final Appeal.
