Meanwhile, the Director of Legal Aid, Mr. D.O'R. Mayne, announced

that Mr. Charles Ching had been appointed to represent victime. on both

sides of the harbour.

He added that Mr. Ching should be able to represent others

affected by the rainstorms except those who have separate interests, thus

requiring separate representation.

Any rainstorm victims who need legal assistance, are asked

to contact the Legal Aid Department on H-231973 or H-253862.

The appointment of Mr. Ching will in no way interfere with the

duties of the counsel assisting the Commission who is responsible for

seeing that all relevant evidence is brought before it.

The hearings resumed today and were adjourned to Monday

(October 9) after formal production of statements and reports from

expert witnesses

contractors and architects.
