REPORT BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL ON ORDINANCE NO. 12 of 1931
21
ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE,
1st September 1931
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled An Ordinance concerning Statutory Declarations,
and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the Governor's Instructions.
An Ordinance of a similar kind was passed in 1885 in the Straits Settlements. It is trusted the present Ordinance will produce uniformity in the wording of Statutory Declarations in Hongkong.
W. Meigh Goodman,
Attorney General.
