The Financial Secretary had appointed Messrs Selwyn Mar and Ian G McEvatt as lay members of a division of the Insider Dealing Tribunal to hear the Chevalier (OA) International Limited insider dealing case, a Government spokesman announced today.
The Chevalier case is the sixth insider dealing case referred by the Financial Secretary to the Tribunal since the Securities (Insider Dealing) Ordinance came into effect in September 1991.
The spokesman pointed out that Mr Mar was an accountant by profession and was the managing director of an accounting firm. Mr McEvatt was the chief executive of an asset management company, he added.
He said that the Tribunal would hold a preliminary hearing on the Chevalier (OA) International Limited case on January 23, 1997. Mr Justice Burrell, Chairman of a division of the Tribunal, will preside over the inquiry.
At the preliminary hearing, the Tribunal will announce its terms of reference and procedures for the inquiry, state its duties and powers, receive applications for representation and set a date for the main hearing.
The preliminary hearing will start at 2.30 pm and will be held in Room 702, Peregrine Tower, Lippo Centre, Queensway, Hong Kong.
