Layland v Ontario (Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations)
text:
Layland v Ontario was a 1993 case brought towards the Ontario Divisional Court after a same-sex couple was denied a marriage license at Ottawa City Hall. The two applicants sued the Ontario Minister responsible for the issuing of marriage licenses and the federal government on the grounds that the acknowledged common law prohibition of same-sex couples from marriage violated their rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms at section 15 which prohibits discrimination based on "sex"
