GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND AND
HIS HIGHNESS PADUKA SERI BAGINDA SULTAN AND
YANG DI-PERTUAN OF BRUNEI CONCERNING THE
CONTINUED PROVISION OF ASSISTANCE IN RELATION
TO JUDICIAL MATTERS
No. 1
The Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs to His Highness Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei
Your Highness,
British High Commission,
Bandar Seri Begawan,
Brunei.
7 January 1979.
I have the honour to refer to the Treaty of Friendship and Co-operation concluded today between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the State of Brunei and to the discussions that have taken place between Your Highness and Her Majesty's Government concerning the con- tinued provision of assistance in relation to judicial matters. The following conclusions were reached in the course of these discussions:
1. The arrangements at present in effect under which the Government of Hong Kong makes the Chief Justice and other judges of the Supreme Court of Hong Kong available to Your Highness for the purpose of staffing the High Court and the Court of Appeal of Brunei will continue as hitherto.
2. The arrangements at present in effect under which appeals lie from the Courts of Brunei to Her Majesty in Council will continue as hitherto.
If the foregoing correctly represents the conclusions reached between Your Highness and Her Majesty's Government, I have the honour to suggest that the present Note and Your Highness's reply to that effect should place on record the understanding between our two Governments on these matters, which will come into operation five years from 31 December 1978.
I avail myself of the opportunity to renew to Your Highness the assurance of my highest consideration.
