  • The Rule of Law in an Evolving Democracy Syed Kemal Bokhary* I
    THE RULE OF LAW IN AN EVOLVING DEMOCRACY Syed Kemal Bokhary* No democratic arrangement is perfect. All are open to abuse. Still democracy’s blessings are self-evident. Hong Kong’s democracy is evolving, and still far from fully realised. Everybody agrees that an increase is needed. But the pace and form of the increase are matters of political controversy. Absent full democracy, can the rule of law prevail? Yes, but only on certain conditions. There has to be independent judicial stewardship of an entrenched constitution. Powers must be properly separated. Human rights must be protected conformably with international norms.1 And the existence of the rule of law must not be treated as justification for delay in democratic development. Without defining the rule of law, these conditions illustrate its nature. I. Judicial Independence and an Entrenched Constitution Our judiciary – as I have previously explained in Hong Kong2, in Mainland China 3 and overseas 4 – is independent. And it is well served by an able profession, a learned academy, a free media and an alert population. Hong Kong’s constitution is entrenched. Initially our constitutional instruments were the Letters Patent and the Royal Instructions. In 1991 they were joined by the Bill of Rights which is modelled on the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Today our constitution is the Basic Law. It came into force upon the handover by which Chinese sovereignty of Hong Kong was resumed on 1 July 1997. By its preamble, the Basic Law declares the “one country, two systems” principle. It is pursuant to this principle that Hong Kong’s system is preserved different from the Mainland’s.

  • Women Readers of Middle Temple Celebrating 100 Years of Women at Middle Temple the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for England and Wales
    The Honourable Society of the Middle Temple Middle Society Honourable the The of 2019 Issue 59 Michaelmas 2019 Issue 59 Women Readers of Middle Temple Celebrating 100 Years of Women at Middle Temple The Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for England and Wales Practice Note (Relevance of Law Reporting) [2019] ICLR 1 Catchwords — Indexing of case law — Structured taxonomy of subject matter — Identification of legal issues raised in particular cases — Legal and factual context — “Words and phrases” con- strued — Relevant legislation — European and International instruments The common law, whose origins were said to date from the reign of King Henry II, was based on the notion of a single set of laws consistently applied across the whole of England and Wales. A key element in its consistency was the principle of stare decisis, according to which decisions of the senior courts created binding precedents to be followed by courts of equal or lower status in later cases. In order to follow a precedent, the courts first needed to be aware of its existence, which in turn meant that it had to be recorded and published in some way. Reporting of cases began in the form of the Year Books, which in the 16th century gave way to the publication of cases by individual reporters, known collectively as the Nominate Reports. However, by the middle of the 19th century, the variety of reports and the variability of their quality were such as to provoke increasing criticism from senior practitioners and the judiciary. The solution proposed was the establishment of a body, backed by the Inns of Court and the Law Society, which would be responsible for the publication of accurate coverage of the decisions of senior courts in England and Wales.

    An Association of Asian Commercial Law Firms FRED KAN & CO. Solicitors & Notaries URBAN PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL LAW QUARTERLYQUARTERLY (Published since May 1992) We are confronted increasingly by examples of the government’s reluctance to fairly and resolutely enforce our planning and environment-protection laws: from slow or no reactions to illegal roads in country parks and bending planning laws to accommodate developers’ ambitions, to almost a state of denial of worsening air and water pollution. However, a long-standing record of inadequate penalties for environmental offences also contributes to this sorry state of affairs.

  • Unexplained Wealth – Whose Business? the 36Thcambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime Unexplained Wealth - Whose Business?
    THIRTY-SIXTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ECONOMIC CRIME SUNDAY 2nd SEPTEMBER - SUNDAY 9th SEPTEMBER 2018 JESUS COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE Unexplained wealth – whose business? The 36thCambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime Unexplained Wealth - whose business? The Thirty-Sixth International Symposium on Economic Crime is the most extensive and ambitious programme that we have so far attempted to put together. The overarching theme is how we can better identify and render accountable unexplained and suspicious wealth. As we increasingly realise that the way in which most of us approach suspect wealth and money laundering lacks efficiency and imposes arguably disproportionate burdens and risks on the financial and business system, it appears a partial answer might be in focusing on the identification of unexplained wealth, but then what do we do? These important and timely issues are pursued in a practical, applied and relevant manner, by those with the benefit of experience from across the world. The symposium, although held in one of the world’s leading universities and recognising the significance of intelligent deliberation, is not a talking shop for those with vested interests – official or commercial. We strive to offer a rich and deep analysis of the real issues and, in particular, threats to our institutions and economies presented by economically motivated crime and misconduct. Therefore, well over 600 experts from around the world will share their experience and knowledge with other participants drawn from policy makers, law enforcement, compliance, regulation, business and the professions. The programme is drawn up with the support of a number of agencies and organisations, and the Organising Institutions and principal sponsors greatly value this global commitment.
