i'm not sure if they are right, my advice is, it doesn't matter, as long as you have the main date, i.e that of the decision the others are irrelevant

 

[MaryJane]

it doesnt matter all that background bs. all u need to possibly mention is that when they got married "he" was, well a technical he lol. just use it as evidence, dont need to waste time detailing it like that

 

[MiuMiu]

you'll mainly need to concentrate on WHY the court ruled the marriage was valid and that it was a precedent

 

[Golani]

nothing aside from the last line is relevant...

I've been told that the case is now referred to as "Kevin and Jennifer" not Re Kevin

 

[jadene]

The case is currently considered as "Re Kevin and Jenifer", however if you call it Re Kevin it is acceptable. PLEASE NOTE that the inclusion on all other dates is irrelevant, you should only BRIEFLY discuss the case, it decision and why it was elevant to FAMILY LAW i.e. It set a benchmark for future cases involving transegender marriages.

The case is called "The Commonwealth v Kevin and Jennifer 2003"
