HONG KONG HMOCS ISSUES: JUDICIAL OFFICERS
Problem
Whether to allow judicial officers in Hong Kong who were
first appointed after 28 March 1985 to enrol as members of
HMOCS.
1.
Recommendation
2.
That:
(i) We should allow judges and judicial officers
appointed before 15 April 1992, to apply to enrol in HMOCS up to 31 August 1992, provided they meet all other criteria satisfactorily;
(ii) We should issue a statement setting out this decision.
I submit a draft.
This submission has been discussed with our Legal
Consultant.
