of the first two lines of section 5 of Ordinance 10 of 1388

has been followed.

260

In sections 8 and 9, some necessary modifications

in describing the Court in which the proceedings are to be

taken have been made. By virtue of subsection (3) of section

12 of Ordinance 34 of 1997 the expression "the Supreme Court"

means the Supreme Court of the Colony of Hongkong.

Section 12 of the English Act has not been introduced

into this Ordinance because the provisions of 7 and 8 Vict. cap.

12 are not in force in this Colony.

It was considered desirable to confer power upon the

Governor in Council to make Rules for the purposes of this Ordinance, and section 13 of the Ordinance, which is based upon the language used in section 10 of Ordinance 10 of 1833,

so provides accordingly.

36. E. Potton

Acting Attorney General.
