THE HONG KONG SAR. IF IN ANY PROCEEDINGS THERE ARISES A QUESTION
AS TO THE MEANING OF THAT LAW, I WOULD EXPECT EACH HONG KONG
COURT SEIZED OF THE ISSUE TO DETERMINE THAT QUESTION, IN
ACCORDANCE WITH JUDICIAL PRECEDENTS AND SUBJECT TO THE USUAL
APPEAL PROCEDURES. THE AGREEMENT DOES NOT HOWEVER SAY WHICH
COURT IN THE SAR WILL BE THE COURT OF FINAL APPEAL ON QUESTIONS
CONCERNING THE INTERPRETATION OF THE BASIC LAW. THIS WILL HAVE
TO BE RESOLVED LATER.
