Nicolaou Natural father did not have to be informed of adoption of illegitimate child as he could be a rapist, customer of a prostitute etc.
Murphy v AG Greater tax liability of married couples living together was not invidious discrimination as it was justified by the particular social function of married couples living together Was however an inducement not to marry
Brennan v AG Equality was not relevant to rates on agricultural land as it applied irrespective of the person occupying it

Lowth v Minister for Social Welfare No equivalent for husbands required for deserted wives' benefit as wives have a different social function from husbands

O'B v S Unequal inheritance right for illegitimate children valid to protect the family founded on marriage
