Alan Leong: The judiciary is deeply concerned
(18 Jul) The former Chairman of the Hong Kong Bar Association, Alan Leong, said that judges seldom speak publicly on social issues. The fact that the Chief Justice of the Court of Final Appeal and non-permanent judges have made exceptions one after another to speak regarding the National Security Law shows that the Judiciary is deeply concerned about the National Security Law, or the undermining of judicial independence. He pointed out that the common law originated in the UK, and that the UK's President of the Supreme Court is a leading figure in the common law system. He described it as a significant issue that Lord Reed gave this warning in his capacity and as a serving non-permanent judge in Hong Kong.
