Civil Service. I have confined myself solely to what I think are the legal consequences of what occurred. In my view the law does not support the declarations that the plaintiffs seek. Nor does it give them any right to damages or pay for the period they were suspended. Accordingly their action must be dismissed.

Denis Chang and Indrew Li (Francis Chaine & Co.) for the

plaintiffs.

J.C. Griffiths, Q.C., P. Graham and F. Cheng, Crown Counsel,

for the defendant.
