Thank you for your letter of 7 June concerning
the Hong Kong Criminal procedure (amendment)(No. A
Ordinance.
I understand that John Moreton, while in Hong
Kong, arranged for this matter to be discussed here
with Denis Roberts sometime next month, and I hope
that we will then be able to agree to some form of
compromise. I am still of the opinion that this
Particularl
ordinance goes too far. As I understand the
clear
thu mit be power to down
#umit pona position, a court may be cleared when it becomes stu
necessary in order to administer justice, but under
this ordinance thas power to clear the court if it is
considered that it may become necessary in order
to administer justice.
We are, of course, familiar with the cases you
cite in your letter but we have not been able to
trace "The Colonial Office Model Penal Code". I
have no recollection of ever having seen this Model
and it has probably been lost during the several
moves we have had during the last few years. Could
you arrange for a copy of the relevant provisi on
of the Code to be sent to me?
I han just recend
to the
при
letter of 24 June
mecay action will be taken at on t Weesay
