I have the honour to forward to Your Excel - lency a print of the proposed rules to be made by me under section 5 of the Judgments (Facilities for Enforcement) Ordinance, 192), Before they are approved, however, there will have to be an amendment of the Ordinance giving me power to make the rule (No.20) dealing with the conversion of foreign currency into Hongkong currency. A copy of the amendment proposed by the Attorney Genera] is attached. This question has not been dealt with by the English rules,
but it is essential to have some fixed date for conversion.
As the rule (20) will affect the amount to be remitted in
respect of any English judgment debt recovered in Hongkong
I would suggest that the rules and the proposed amendment of the Ordinance be submitted to the Secretary of State.
I have, &c.,
(Sd.) W. Rees-Deries,
Chief Justice.
His Excellency
Sir Edward Stubbe, K.C.M.G..
Governor, &c.
