Below are the main points from Chief Justice Ma’s statement:
1. “…as far as the designation of judges and the operation of the courts are concerned, these two aspects must be subject to the requirements of the Basic Law.”
2. Article 92 of the Basic Law states that judges are to be appointed on the basis of their judicial and professional qualities, not “designated on the basis of political considerations.”
3. Judges of foreign nationality are “expressly permitted to be appointed as judges in Hong Kong under the Basic Law.”
4. “In considering the suitability of judges to be designated, any legal objections will have to be taken into account, such as those set out in Article 44 as well as those based on bias, reasonable perceptions of bias or “other legal objections.”
5. “The listing and handling of cases, the assignment of which judge or judges are to handle cases or appeals will be determined by the court leader of the relevant level of court.”
