HONG KONG’S COURT OF FINAL APPEAL

In the years since it was established on 1 July, 1997, Hong Kong’s Court ofFinal Appeal has developed a distinctive body of new law and doctrine withthe help of eminent foreign common law judges. Under the leadership ofChief Justice Andrew Li, it has also remained independent under Chinesesovereignty and become a model for other Asian final courts working tomaintain the rule of law, judicial independence and professionalism inchallenging political environments.

In this book, leading practitioners, jurists and academics examine theCourt’s history, operation and jurisprudence, and provide a comparativeanalysis with European courts and China’s other autonomous final courtin Macau. It also makes use of extensive empirical data compiled from thejurisprudence to illuminate the Court’s decision-making processes andidentify the relative impacts of the foreign and local judges.

tribute to the honourable andrew li kwok nang xv

Secretary for Justice, Mr Wong Yan Lung, SC, 16 July 2010

Chief Justice, when your decision to take early retirement was announcedlast September, although everyone regretted your early departure fromthe bench, the applause for your outstanding achievement over your 13years of tenure was in complete accord. You were praised by both thelocal and the overseas press. And the standing ovation after your speechat this year’s opening of the legal year was a moving testimony to therespect you command in this community. It has been said the role ofa judge is to bring about the realisation of the rule of law. As the firstChief Justice of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, you haveshouldered the monumental task of bringing about the legal realisationof the innovative ‘one country, two systems’ principle. And 13 yearson, the verdict is unanimous: The mission has been accomplished withresounding success. . . . The Chief Justice I know is more than a giantin the administration of justice, he is an exemplar of excellence with asoul. He is above all a man of compassion whose first concern is for thepeople of Hong Kong. In and out of this court room are individuals,among them members of the judiciary, legal practitioners in particularyour pupils (with me included), also 11 batches of Bar Scholars, the staffof the CFA and judiciary, and many more whose hearts have been inspiredby your example and whose lives have been touched by your generosity.That’s why many legal practitioners have been happy to give up a lucrativeprivate practice in exchange for the one-way ticket to join the judiciary.They see at its pinnacle an inspiring figure who truly lives out what hepreaches.

Russell Coleman SC, Chairman of the Hong Kong Bar Association,16 July 2010

It is, of course, no secret that Hong Kong has benefited enormously fromthe accident of timing that allowed the then Andrew Li QC to become thefirst Chief Justice of Hong Kong in the new era following the resumptionof Chinese sovereignty. If we did not know it then, we now know whatan inspired appointment it was. It is not just those of us in the law whothink that way. In February 2010, the Chief Justice achieved the highestscore ever recorded in a University of Hong Kong public opinion poll.His approval ratings would be the envy of any President, Prime Minister,Chief Executive, or indeed – to be closer to my home –any member ofthe Bar turned politician. . . . By my count, by 31 August 2010, the Chief






xvi tribute to the honourable andrew li kwok nang

Justice will have been in post for 4,810 days. I wonder if it is simply acoincidence that the digits of that number, 4-8-1-0, add up to 13, thenumber of complete years of his tenure. . . . Justice is not fragile in HongKong, but it requires constant vigilance; such vigilance is the duty ofall those in the legal profession, but perhaps particularly the duty of thejudiciary and its head, the Chief Justice. As was once said by another ChiefJustice: ‘Justice is like oxygen: there is no reason to notice it if you have itin abundance. However, as you constrict the flow, it becomes more andmore important until the point is reached where nothing else matters atall.’ Under the Chief Justice’s tenure, we have breathed rather easily.

Huen Wong, President of the Law Society of Hong Kong, August 2010

It was my honour and privilege to have the opportunity to attend andsay a few words as President of the Law Society at the farewell sitting forChief Justice Andrew Li on 16 July. The occasion was a testimony to thehigh regard in which the retiring Chief Justice is held. Over 100 guestsgathered at the courtroom of the Court of Final Appeal to bid farewellto him. It was a moving occasion that, I am sure, will remain as one ofthe most memorable court sittings in the history of the Judiciary. ChiefJustice Li took over the reins of the judiciary in an era of uncertainty whenthe unprecedented constitutional concept of ‘one country, two systems’was implemented in Hong Kong. The judiciary plays a critical role in thebuilding up of public confidence in this innovative concept. As stated inits mission statement, the judiciary is: ‘To maintain an independent andcompetent judicial system which upholds the rule of law, safeguards therights and freedoms of the individual, and commands confidence withinand outside Hong Kong.’ Throughout his tenure, Chief Justice Li hasadvanced the mission of the judiciary faithfully and fearlessly. The hugeturnout at his farewell sitting and the recognition of his achievements bothby the legal and judicial circles and the general public is proof beyondreasonable doubt of the high regard in which Chief Justice Li is held andthat his mission has been accomplished.

The Honourable Dr Margaret Ng, Legislative Council, 9 June 2010

Deputy President, this is the first occasion for the elected legislature ofthe HKSAR to endorse the appointment of a Chief Justice. I would like totake this opportunity to pay tribute to Mr. Andrew Li, the outgoing Chief






tribute to the honourable andrew li kwok nang xvii

Justice. He has served in that office for the most crucial first 13 years ofthe Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal with distinction, and our recordwill not be complete without acknowledgement.

By upholding fundamental rights and freedoms in his judgments rightfrom the beginning, when the world wondered if ‘two systems’ can prevailunder ‘one country’, he has boosted confidence in the rule of law in HongKong and made an essential contribution to Hong Kong stability. He hastaken as his chief mission to build up a court of final appeal of stature andprestige. Among our non-permanent judges from overseas jurisdictionsare former Chief Justices of Australia, a Lord Chief Justice of England andWales, several Law Lords, former judges of the Supreme Court of NewZealand – judges who are household names to serious practitioners of thelaw. He has persuaded an unprecedented number of the best and brightestof Hong Kong’s legal practitioners to abandon their lucrative practice tojoin the bench. He has established regular and fruitful exchanges with thejudiciary on the Mainland and overseas. But above all, he has kept in touchwith the sentiments of the ordinary men and women of our communityand taken every appropriate occasion to address their concerns. As ChiefJustice, he will leave an indelible mark in the annals of the history of theHKSAR.






ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Our project on Hong Kong’s Court of Final Appeal (CFA) began in2007, after we succeeded in obtaining a research grant from the ResearchGrants Council (RGC) of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region(HKSAR) (Project No. HKU 7467/06H). Originally, we were to studythe first decade of the CFA, but when the Chief Justice unexpectedlyannounced in September 2009 his retirement at the end of August 2010,we decided to extend the time frame to cover the CFA’s first 13 years tocoincide with the term of office of its first Chief Justice.

The initial research results were disseminated at a public conferenceorganised by the Centre for Comparative and Public Law, held at theUniversity of Hong Kong (HKU) on 5–6 March 2010. All the contributorsto this volume and Kevin Zervos SC (now Justice Zervos of the HighCourt) presented papers at the conference, which was attended by theChief Justice, the three permanent judges of the CFA, and non-permanentjudges Lord Hoffmann and Justice Litton. The event was a success andincreased public awareness of the CFA and its impact.

We begin by thanking the RGC for funding the project. We thank allof the contributors, especially our two keynote speakers, Sir AnthonyMason NPJ and Professor Josef Marko, all the Hong Kong judges whoattended the conference, the Dean of the HKU Faculty of Law (JohannesChan) and our colleagues in the Faculty who worked tirelessly to organisethe event: Flora Leung, Sharron Fast, Raymond Lam, Eddie Leung andJessica Cheng. We are also indebted to the many researchers who have con-tributed to our study. They include senior researchers Antonio Da Roza(who contributed enormously) and Kate Egan, and student researchersBryan Chan, Ernest Ng, Ruby Ho, Chris Chan, Ivy Chen and Gary Lam.We also thank the many people who took an interest in our project andprovided us with valuable information: District Judge Simon Kwang inthe CFA Registry, Annie Tang, Kevin Zervos SC, Gerard McCoy SC, CliveGrossman SC, Michael Blanchflower SC, Matthew Groves, Mohammed
