    In KB v National Health Service Pensions Agency and Secretary of State for Health the Court of Appeal has referred to the European Court of Justice a question as to whether the NHS pension scheme is contravening EU law by excluding a female nurse's female-to-male transsexual partner from the right to a survivor's pension because they are not legally married, although they went through a form of marriage ceremony.
