Abstract
In November 2013, the Australian Capital Territory ('ACT') Legislative Assembly enacted the landmark Marriage Equality (Same Sex) Act 2013 (ACT). The provisions of the Act came into effect in early December 2013, providing for the solemnisation of Australia's first same-sex marriages. Later that same month, the High Court of Australia handed down a unanimous joint judgment in Commonwealth v Australian Capital Territory (the 'Same-sex Marriage Case').1 In that case, the Court held that the ACT's 'marriage equality' laws were of no effect.
