YOUR TELNO 1905:
PROVISION OF JUDICIAL ASSISTANCE TO BRUNEI BY
THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT
1.
THE INTENTION IN PARAGRAPH 3 OF OUR TELNO 1173 WAS TO
DRAW TO YOUR ATTENTION THE POSSIBLE PRESENTATIONAL ADVANTAGES OF
HONG KONG CONTINUING TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH A COURT IN ANOTHER
COMMON LAW JURISDICTION. THIS WOULD BE NOT SO MUCH A MATTER OF RECIPROCITY, AS AN INDICATION THAT NOT ONLY MAY THE HONG KONG JUDICIARY AFTER 1997 BE ASSISTED BY DRAWING ON THE EXPERTISE OF
OTHER COMMON LAW JURISDICTION AS PROVIDED IN THE JOINT
DECLARATION BUT THAT THEY ARE CAPABLE NOW, AND MAY ALSO BE SO IN THE FUTURE, OF PLAYING A WIDER ROLE IN ASSISTING THE JUDICIARY OF
ANOTHER SOUTH EAST ASIAN JURISDICTION.
