Dear John,
In my speech winding up the debate on the Second Reading of the Hong Kong Bill on 21 January, I said that I would write to those who had raised points that I felt I had not answered. You raised the question of judicial review in case of a clash between the law of Hong Kong and the Basic Law.
The agreement provides for the power of final judgement of the SAR to be vested in the court of final appeal in the SAR, but it does not determine in detail the composition and functions of the Court, or the procedures by which cases will be brought before it. However what is clear is that the Basic
Law will be one of the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the courts of the SAR (including of course the final court of appeal) will be obliged to decide cases in accordance with these laws.
