REUTERS/Lam YikHONG KONG: Hong Kong will continue to invite foreign judges to its courts and the city's legal system remains"hard as a rock", Chief Executive Carrie Lam said on Tuesday amid international concern about the impact of a sweeping national security law.
Lam, speaking at her regular weekly news conference, said she would not speculate on Hale's reasons for stepping down when her three-year term expires. In remarks made to a recent legal seminar in Britain, Hale said Hong Kong's legal system"is functioning in accordance with the rule of law, at least as far as commercial law is concerned".
Hong Kong’s foreign judges stem from an arrangement established at its 1997 handover to help maintain its credibility as an international financial hub.They come from common law jurisdictions like Britain, Canada and Australia and serve as non-permanent members of the court, which means they are called on periodically to sit on cases.
The CCP saved her ass.
