THE CHIEF JUSTICE. A PARTICULAR POINT ON WHICH WE WOULD WELCOME

YOUR VIEWS RELATES TO SECTION III OF ANNEX I TO THE AGREEMENT,

WHICH WOULD ALLOW THE SAR TO INVITE JUDGES FROM OTHER COMMON LAW

JURISDICTIONS TO SIT ON THE SAR'S COURT OF FINAL APPEAL. WOULD

YOU CONSIDER THAT THE MAINTENANCE OF A LINK WITH BRUNEI WOULD

PROVIDE AN ELEMENT OF SOMETHING LIKE RECIPROCITY WHICH MIGHT

BE USEFUL WHEN WE COME TO CONSIDER HOW THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION

III OF ANNEX I ARE TO BE IMPLEMENTED?
