You will see from No.14 that the Acting Governor, on the advice of his Attorney-General, has adhered to the definition in paragraph 1 of No.12. On this, we can only await the Ordinance.
2.
You will also see from No.11 on 53528/330/46 attached that Messrs. Maddin and Company have been instructed by their client to take no further step in this matter. This is clear enough and we could of course let the matter rest at that. It may be that their client has decided to institute fresh proceedings. On the other hand I am not sure that we ought not to bring to the notice of the Solicitors the fact that validating legislation has been introduced in the Dalziel case. Whether or not they decide to pass this information on to their client would be entirely their own affair, but at least we might give them the opportunity of having second thoughts. If you agree that we could properly take this course, I would propose to write to the solicitors as in draft on 53528/330/46. We must remember to let Hong Kong know about this
case.
