C.O. 207

REGS 24 SEP 03
ATTORNEY GENEBAL'S OFFICE.
Hongkong,
12th August,
190 2
Report on Ordinance No. 12 of 190.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled
An Ordinance to amend The Foreshores and Sea Bed Ordinance
No.31. of 1801, and to repeal sub-section (1) of section 1 of
Ordinance No.11 of 1903
and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to
the Governor's Instructions.
The Ordinance gives effect to the suggestion in
paragraph 4 of 0.0.D. No.33 of 18th March 1003 by reducing the
period of notice required by the first proviso to section 3 of
Ordinance o.21 of 1901 from three months to one month.
The reduction is desired because it has been found
unnecessary and inconvenient in practice to require such a long
period of notice as three months to be given before the Governor
can grant Orown Leases of Foreshore or Sea Bed.
Henry L. Rechelay
Attorney General.
