The Coremans-De Vriendt Law, also dubbed the Law of Equality (Dutch:Gelijkheidswet), was a Belgian law passed on 18 April 1898 which enforced formal legal equality of Dutch and French language in the country, and is seen as a landmark in the history of the Flemish Movement and of linguistic equality in Belgium.
