This book offers an in-depth analysis of the case of Corbett v
Corbett, a landmark in terms of law's engagement with sexual
identity, marriage, and transgender rights. The judgement was
handed down in 1970, but the decision has shaped decades of debate
about the law's control and recognition of non-normative gender
identities. The decision in this case - that the marriage between
the Hon. Arthur Corbett and April Ashley was void on the grounds
that April Ashley had been born male - has been profoundly
influential across the common law world, and came as a dramatic and
intolerant intervention in developing discussions about the
relationships between medicine, law, questions of sex versus
gender, and personal identity. The case raises fundamental
questions concerning law in its historical and intellectual
context, in particular relating to the centrality of ordinary
language for legal interpretation, and this book will be of
interest to students and scholars of language and law, legal
history, gender and sexuality.
