Practice of retired District Judges in Hong Kong

I am sorry that I have not replied sooner to your letter of 24th April.

I agree with the conclusion which you have reached that undertakings should be required from those in future appointed to the office of District Judge about not practising on retirement. I don't think that there is any need to consult the Bar Council.

Yours sincerely Ачить Волей - быр
