2003-03-17 10:56
Johannesburg - In an important ruling for same-sex relationships, the Constitutional Court ruled on Monday that the partner of High Court judge Kathy Satchwell is entitled to the same benefits which apply in heterosexual relationships.
This arises from an application by Satchwell that her partner should have the same benefits as a spouse under the Judges' Remuneration and Conditions of Employment Act.
Judge Kate O'Regan read the judgment for the court.
