爱尔兰高等法院剥夺同居伴侣养老金权利的规则违宪,命令平等待遇。 Ireland’s High Court rules denying cohabiting partners pension rights is unconstitutional, ordering equal treatment.

爱尔兰高等法院裁定,拒绝向未亡同居者发放配偶养恤金违反了《宪法》,宣布国家将未婚伴侣排除在公务员养恤金计划之外不符合宪法。 The Irish High Court has ruled that denying a surviving cohabitant a spouse’s pension violates the Constitution, declaring the state’s exclusion of unmarried partners from the Civil Service pension scheme unconstitutional. 该决定以第40条第1款所规定的平等为基础,没有找到任何合理依据来区别对待不同于配偶或民事伴侣的同居者,特别是在长期关系中。 The decision, based on equality under Article 40.1, found no rational basis for treating cohabitants differently from spouses or civil partners, especially in long-term relationships. 这项裁决支持弗雷迪·琼斯在其伴侣死亡后提出的主张,要求改变政策以确保平等待遇。 The ruling, which supports Freddie Jones’s claim after his partner’s death, mandates policy changes to ensure equal treatment. 爱尔兰人权和平等委员会赞扬了这一决定,认为这是朝着宪法平等迈出的一步。 The Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission praised the decision as a step toward constitutional equality.
