Article & Paragraph
Art. 6
H
Text in the draft BL
shall protect the right of private ownership of property in accordance with law.
n
Suggested text
... shall protect the right of ownership of private property in accordance with law.'
Remarks
The phrase "the right of private ownership of property" in the current English text could exclude protection of the right of property by, say, statutory bodies. It should be revised to read "the right of ownership of private
property". (We have separately suggested that the article should include the phrase
"protected by law".)
Art. 8
except for those that are inconsistent with this Law
except for those that contravene this Law
(i)
ST
In legal terms,
"inconsistent" is
different from
"contravene*. The Chinese
抵觸
expression "#
should be translated as
the latter.
(ii) To draw on the language of the first paragraph of Section II of Annex I to the JD.
