Dear Peter,

CM

International Commission of Jurists Report

g

As promised in our telno 1215 I now enclose our commentary on the Report. David Edwards made a significant contribution on the chapters dealing with the Basic Law and the constitutional position of the Judiciary after 1997.

As I mentioned in our telegram we do not propose issuing this commentary but will hold it for future reference if the need arises. I hope that it will be of some use to you.

Yours sincerely,

Jeremy Mathes

JF Mathews) Attorney General
