SECRETARY FOR HEALTH AND WELFARE THE CLERK TO THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL MR CLETUS LAU KWOK-HONG HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL — 24 February 1993 2073 Sessional Papers 1992-93 No. 58 — Li Po Chun Charitable Trust Fund Annual Report for the Period 1 September 1991 to 31 August 1992 No. 59 — Trustee's Report on the Administration of the Education Scholarships Fund for the year ended 31 August 1992 Oral answers to questions Abandoned vehicles 1. MR CHIM PUI-CHUNG asked (in Cantonese): Regarding the problem of vehicles being abandoned at various locations in Hong Kong, will the Government inform this Council of the following: (a) the latest number of abandoned vehicles and how it compares with that of the same time last year; (b) the departments which are responsible for the disposal of abandoned vehicles and their respective duties; and (c) whether it has any plans to review the existing practice for the disposal of abandoned vehicles and to introduce effective measures to deal with the problem, for example, requiring registered car owners who do not seek renewal of their vehicles' licence upon expiry to prove to the Administration within a specified period that the vehicles have been properly disposed of? SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT: Mr President, on the first part of the question: (a) 283 abandoned vehicles were removed in the last quarter of last year, compared with 86 in the same period of 1991. On the second part of the question: (b) Three departments are involved. For vehicles abandoned on government land, the Buildings and Lands Department requires owners to move them by a certain date. If this is not done, the vehicles are towed away. Vehicles abandoned on public roads are handled by the police in a similar way. 2074 HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL — 24 February 1993 In addition, the Transport Department operates two car surrender centres offering a free disposal service for old cars. The department also monitors the activities of a car-crushing yard operated by a government contractor, where abandoned vehicles are delivered for scrapping. On the last part of the question: (c) It is present policy to provide facilities for owners to dispose of old vehicles lawfully when they are no longer roadworthy. This policy works well. Most owners either take their old vehicles to one of the surrender centres or sell them to private scrapyards. Only a small proportion of unserviceable vehicles are abandoned. There are no plans to change the existing practice. The suggestion that owners be required to prove that their vehicles have been properly disposed of if they do not renew their vehicle licence has been considered before. However, non-renewal of a vehicle licence does not necessarily mean that the vehicle has been disposed of. For example, the owner could be absent from Hong Kong for a long time or the vehicle may be under repair. To establish the reasons for non-renewal of a licence in each case would require time-consuming investigation, which is not justified by the scale of the problem. MR CHIM PUI-CHUNG (in Cantonese): Mr President, we learnt from the Secretary's reply that firstly the number of abandoned vehicles in 1992 is 230% higher than that of 1991 and secondly as three departments are involved in the task, it is close to a situation where "everybody's business is nobody's business". Will the Administration make public the practical measures it will take to resolve the problem? I fail to see what has made giving an answer so difficult on such a minor issue when Hong Kong can do so well and is so successful in other areas. SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT: Mr President, I refute the implications evident in the first part of Mr CHIM's question. The departments involved are working under strict regulations and clear instructions. There is no overlapping of work or lack of efficiency. With regard to the first part of the question, the number of abandoned vehicles has increased because of a backlog in the past years. The police mounted a special operation during last year to clear the backlog. This explains the increase in the last year. HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL — 24 February 1993 2075 MR SIMON IP: Mr President, our beautiful countryside is being raped by the indiscriminate dumping of vehicles, especially in the New Territories, and this is quite evident when one drives along the roads in the New Territories. Would the Secretary for Transport please explain what is being done to remedy the situation? SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT: Mr President, I believe this is a matter on land use planning and I would defer to the Secretary for Planning, Environment and Lands. SECRETARY FOR PLANNING, ENVIRONMENT AND LANDS: Mr President, thank you. There are two situations as regards the use of land in the New Territories for such activities as the dumping of vehicles or other storage uses of this kind. The first situation is that in the areas covered by the 31 development permission areas in respect of which plans have been published in the last year or so, the use of land for this purpose needs to be the subject of an application to the Planning Department. And when applications of this kind are made, if they are made in areas which have been designated for open storage use, they can be approved under conditions which will control the form of the use and such other matters as prevention of environmental degradation. The second category is those dumps which have existed prior to the introduction of the new town planning legislation in the last couple of years, which enables us to impose development permission areas.

    LC Paper No. CB(2)2098/01-02(01) 24 May 2002 Mr Simon Ip Shing Hing BY POST President Law Society of Hong Kong 3/F Wing On House 71 Des Voeux Road Central, Hong Kong Dear Simon, Re: Clause 105 Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill The attached comments have been received from a member of the Law Society on the proposed amendments to section 6 of the Legal Practitioners Ordinance. I should be grateful for your response to the concerns expressed, so that both the comments and your response may be put before the Bills Committee for members’ consideration. By copy of this letter, I am also inviting the Administration's response. With best regards. Yours sincerely, MN/eh Margaret Ng cc: Mr Michael Scott, Department of Justice Clerk, Bills Committee Statute Law (Misc Provisions) Bill Comments on Clause 105, Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill This amendment will give the Law Society power to make rules to regulate/prevent the practitioners (whom the Law Society does not like) from opening a small law firm. The present rule is the Practising Certificate (Solicitors) (Grounds for Refusal) Rules (copy attached), which set out a number of factors to refuse the issue of a practicing certificate. If the amendment is passed, the Law Society Council will have unrestricted wide power to refuse the issue of or impose any conditions on the practicing certificate. This will cause an unfair situation whereby a solicitor can be refused an unconditional practicing certificate for reason that he has done some misconduct (even on a very trivial matters) and for which he has got severe punishment.

  • Hong Kong: the Impact of 1997 on Academia and the Legal Profession
    PRESERVING INSTITUTIONS OF AUTONOMY IN HONG KONG: THE IMPACT OF 1997 ON ACADEMIA AND THE LEGAL PROFESSION Carole J. Petersen I. INTRODUCTION Recently the United Kingdom handed Hong Kong over to China. The Joint Declaration' and the Basic Law 2 provide that the local Hong Kong government shall enjoy a "high degree of autonomy" from the central government in China. However, it is well recognized that such autonomy can only be realized in the presence of strong local institutions -institutions that will resist intervention by China and exercise their powers in the interest of Hong Kong. Thus far, Hong Kong's main governmental institutions-the Chief Executive, the legislature, and the judiciary-hae not established themselves as particularly strong defenders of local autonomy. The first Chief Executive (appointed by the Chinese government) has been criticised for consulting Beijing on matters that are supposed to be outside its supervision.3 The Provisional Legislative Council (appointed because China dissolved Hong Kong's elected legislature) has also been extremely docile and has largely complied with China's wishes. When elections are held in the spring of 1998, Hong Kong can expect more assertive legislators. But as a result of the election law enacted by the Provisional Legislative Council, even the elected Legislative Council will be far less democratic than the one elected in 1995.' Moreover, its power to check the executive branch is quite limited * Associate Professor, School of Professional and Continuing Education, University ofHong Kong.

  • Dr Simon Ip Sik-On, GBS, JP Doctor of Laws Honoris Causa Citation
    Dr Simon Ip Sik-on, GBS, JP Doctor of Laws honoris causa Citation Dr Simon Ip Sik-on was born in Hong Kong , and received his education here and in the UK, where he completed his legal training in London. In î 972 he returned to Hong Ko 門 9 and began working at the ci 旬 's leading law firm , Johnson Stokes & Master, where he became its Senior Partner and Chairman from î 996 to 2004. Dr Ip is celebrated not only for his stellar career as an expe付 in litigation and dispute resolution , but also for his distinguished contributions to a long list of public se叭/ices , including President of the Law Society, member of the Basic Law Consultative Committee, member of the Legislative Council , Founding Council Chairman of The Hong Kong Institute of Education (now The Education University of Hong Kong) , Founding Council member of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, as well as member of The Hong Kong Jockey Club's Board of Stewards and most recently, the Club's Chairman. On each occasion when he was invited to take on one of the many important public services he now has under his belt, he would ask himself “Why me?" He had not actively sought these positions and privately doubted his own suitability and readiness . It is indeed a blessing for Hong Kong that this question did not stop Dr Ip from accepting these important challenges. His achievements result from his ability to transfer his professional skills to a variety of seemingly unrelated contexts and projects.

  • Citation for Mr Simon S O Ip, CBE, JP Doctor of Education, Honoris Causa
    A Citation for Mr Simon S O Ip, CBE, JP Doctor of Education, honoris causa Mr Chairman of the Council, Since its inception in 1994, the Institute has gone through different phases of transformation and development. One of the most important factors for the Institute’s growth from a post-secondary institution to its present position as a university-level institution was the remarkable leadership of Mr Simon Ip, the Founding Chairman of the Council. Born in Hong Kong in 1948, Mr Ip studied law in London and was admitted as a solicitor of England and Wales in 1971. In 1972, Mr Ip returned to Hong Kong and commenced his legal career with Messrs. Johnston, Stokes and Master, now the largest legal practice in Hong Kong and one of the leading law firms in Asia. In 1996, he was appointed their Senior Partner. Mr Ip commands great respect in the legal community. He was the President of the Law Society of Hong Kong from 1987 to 1989 and represented the legal profession in the Legislative Council from 1991 to 1995. He is also a Research Fellow of the Faculty of Law of Tsinghua University, Beijing. In recognition of his dedicated and wide ranging community services, Mr Ip was appointed a Justice of the Peace at the age of 33 and awarded an OBE and CBE in 1993 and 1997 respectively. Motivated by the vision laid out in the Education Commission Report No. 5 which was to create an autonomous tertiary institution to provide professionally trained teachers for the community, and under the strong belief that no society could progress without professionally trained teachers, Mr Ip accepted the Government’s invitation to serve as the Chairman of the Provisional Governing Council of the Institute in the early part of 1993.
