5. IN MY VIEW AN EARLIER DATE THAN 1990 WOULD BE DESIRABLE: AND

M: DOUBT OF FAWE YEARS NOTICE MS REQUIRED. THE HONG KONG JUDICIARY

SHOULD BE CONCENTRATHING ITS ATTENTION ON HONG KONG AND REGULAR

ABSENCES OF SENIOR JUDGES ARE BOUND TO BE DISRUPTIVE OF JUDICEAL

BUSINESS IN HONG KONG.

6. THERE WILL HOWEVER BE A NEED TO MARRY THE TERMINATION PROPOSAL

INTO THE GENERAL PATTERN OF THE U.K. RELATIONSHIP WITH BRUNEM.

BEFORE 1 TAKE THIS FURTHER WITH THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHOULD BE

GRATEFUL FOR YOUR COMMENTS ON HOW THIS MIGHT BE DONE.
