我認為經常將法治掛在口邊的學者和專業人士，應該對《基本法》有最基本的尊重，而反對派議員沒有理由不知道這一點。
In my opinion the scholars and professionals who keep touting the rule of law should have the most basic respect for the Basic Law and there is no reason why Members of the opposition camp do not understand this point
不過，我們從政多年的人也明白，要喚醒裝睡的人很難。
However those of us who have been in politics for many years also understand that it is very difficult to awaken someone who pretends to be asleep
主席，今次被反對派點名攻擊的鄭若驊司長，本身是一位資深大律師，有豐富的法律經驗。
President Secretary Teresa CHENG who has currently been named and shamed by the opposition is herself a Senior Counsel with extensive legal experience
她抵受着巨大的政治壓力，以專業和不偏不倚的態度處理有關事情，正正彰顯了法治精神和社會公義。
In the face of tremendous political pressure she handles the matter with a professional and impartial attitude rightly demonstrating the spirit of the rule of law and social justice
我們應該支持律政司依法辦事，而事件也應該告一段落。
We should support DoJ in acting in accordance with law and the incident should come to an end
我亦在此奉勸某些政客，不要再借這件事進行政治炒作，詆毀香港。
I would also like to advise certain politicians not to make use of this incident again to engage in political hype and discredit Hong Kong
所以，我想先討論外判政策。
Hence I will first talk about the briefing out policy
但是，最具爭議性的是第d項，便是尋求外間大律師意見的需要在於，為免可能予人有偏袒的觀感或出現利益衝突的問題。
But the most controversial is item d and that is DoJ may seek outside counsels advice in order to address possible perception of bias or issues of conflict of interests
我相信這是今天的討論比較重要的主題。
I believe this is a relatively key theme in todays discussion
代理主席，我們經常、"開口閉口"、"唸口簧"也會說，香港是法治社會，香港的法治是香港社會繁榮的基石。
Deputy President we often picture Hong Kong as a society with the rule of law and we always say that the rule of law constitutes the cornerstone for Hong Kongs prosperity
但是，很多人越來越覺得，香港越來越趨向人治的社會狀態，而且種種事件亦令我們和市民 認為這已變成事實。
Nevertheless more and more people feel that Hong Kong has become a society of the rule of man . A number of incidents have prompted us and the public in Hong Kong to believe that this has already become the reality
律政司作為處理香港法律事務的機關，而律政司司長作為機關的最高負責人，她的責任重大，不可以讓香港市民有任何理由質疑她有違中立，亦不可以令國際社會有這種錯覺萬一不是錯覺，這樣更嚴重。
The Department of Justice DoJ which is the authority in charge of Hong Kongs legal affairs and the Secretary for Justice who is the highest person in charge of this authority should have an immense responsibility . Therefore she should not give the public any reason to question that she is not impartial and she should not give the wrong impression to the international community―in case it is not a wrong impression―a much worse scenario
所以，律政司司長上任時，在她個人的僭建事件上，其實已經令我們失望一次，現在很可惜，她再次令我們失望。
For that reason the Secretary for Justice has already let us down once when she assumed office because of the unauthorized building works in her residence . Unfortunately she has let us down once again
今次，律政司司長就前行政長官梁振英在UGL案件中有否涉及貪污或觸犯公職人員行為失當罪一事，她沒有尋求外間的法律意見，便自己一人決定不作上訴。
This time while the Secretary for Justice did not seek legal advice from outside on the case of alleged corruption andor alleged misconduct in public office of former Chief Executive Mr LEUNG Chun - ying she decided on her own that she would not institute prosecution proceedings against him
這程序已經完全違反過往的做法，予人的感覺是"放生"梁振英，而實際的效果亦如此。
The approach has departed from the past practice and given the public an impression that LEUNG Chun - ying was set free and in effect he was set free
是否因律政司司長有權，所以可以盡用，因而有意見也不聆聽呢？
Is it because the Secretary for Justice has the power and therefore she can exploit the power to the fullest extent and shut her ears to others opinions?
我必須假設香港的法律界大律師、專業的資深大律師提供的意見是中立及獨立的，不會偏頗任何人，是依書直說，根據法律來提供意見。
I should assume that the advice given by barristers and senior counsels in Hong Kongs legal circle is impartial and independent . It will not be biased to any person because they only follow the books to give their advice according to Hong Kong laws
是否因為這原因呢？
Is that the reason?
確實除了觀感上有問題，更重要的是結果，便是究竟會否作檢控？
Indeed besides the perception issue the most important thing is the result
即使談到承擔，究竟尋求獨立的法律意見是有承擔，還是不尋求才是更有承擔呢？
Even if she talks about responsibility is it a responsible decision to seek independent legal advice or otherwise?
如果律政司有尋求獨立的法律意見，才算是最為公義、公平、公正、公道，而她也擔當了神聖地捍衞香港的法律，執法、檢控和維持公義的律政司司長的位置，便要承擔這最神聖的任務。
It can be considered the most faithful adherence to justice equity impartiality and fairness only if DoJ has sought independent legal advice . In the meantime as she has assumed the office as the Secretary for Justice she has to defend and enforce Hong Kongs law to institute prosecutions and to uphold justice in a sacred way she then has to take responsibility of this sacred errand
她雖然作出承擔，但選擇了不檢控、不追究及與以往做法不同、破壞慣例的做法，承擔了這些不公平、不公正、不公道的目標為本的結果。
If she has made a responsible decision but she opts not to institute prosecution not to pursue and to depart from the past practice and damage convention she is now responsible for the inequitable biased and unfair based outcome
所以，郭榮鏗議員今天提出的傳召議案，正正給我們一個機會，以了解律政司司長今次不尋求獨立法律意見的決定，為何有這麼多慣例她不跟隨？
For that reason the motion of summon proposes by Mr Dennis KWOK today gives us an opportunity to understand why the Secretary for Justice has made a decision that DoJ would not seek independent legal advice this time . Why was she not following the convention?
律政司司長上月在回應事件時表示，除非案件涉及律政司的同事，律政司才會徵詢獨立意見。
Last month when the Secretary for Justice responded to the incident she said that DoJ would seek independent legal advice only if the case involved the staff of DoJ
因為過去律政司都的確有就多宗涉及高官、行政會議成員的案件，尋求獨立的法律意見。
It is because in the past DoJ has actually sought independent legal advice on various cases involving senior public officials and Members of the Executive Council
正是因為今次涉及政府高官，律政司司長才需要要讓公眾看到她所作的檢控決定不偏不倚，沒有偏袒，所以她更應該跟隨這程序。
It is exactly because a senior government official is involved that the Secretary for Justice should let the public see that the prosecution instituted by her is impartial and unbiased and she should adhere to this protocol
即使是高官，是否這樣就輕輕放過他，還是因為他今天已貴為國家領導人才不得不放過呢？
Should LEUNG Chun - ying be set free as he has been a senior government official and even promoted to the rank of a state leader and therefore she can do nothing about him but to let him go?
至於尋求獨立法律意見，最低限度可以說服人們，即使案件涉及這位重要的官員，但所作的決定是沒有偏袒的。
As to seeking independent legal advice at least the public should be convinced that even a senior government official is involved DoJ has made unbiased decision
這便是尋求外間法律意見的好處，亦不是外判了律政司的角色便算了，因為最後決定仍然由律政司作出。
This is the benefit of seeking legal advice from outside . This is not tantamount to outsourcing the role of DoJ as it will make the final decision
司長雖聲稱她不偏不倚，但公眾並不認同，甚至認為律政司及司長本人的公信力因這事件再次破產。
The legal profession definitely commands my profound respect . Even though the Secretary said that she was impartial the public do not think so . People even consider that the credibility of DoJ and the Secretary has gone bankrupt once again
所以，律政司明顯是違反慣例，不尋求外間獨立法律意見，在公眾眼中，其實大家都真的覺得是偏頗、偏倚。
Therefore it is obvious that DoJ has violated the convention as it fails to seek independent legal advice from outside . Everyone of the public really considers that it is a biased and slanted decision
因此，律政司司長無視坊間的疑慮，決定不檢控梁振英這點，更難令公眾信服。
Therefore it is hard to convince the public with this decision as the Secretary for Justice is turning a blind eye to public concerns about not instituting prosecution against LEUNG Chun - ying
因為她這個決定令法庭失去作最後判決的機會。
Because of her decision the court has no chance to make the final judgment
如果不提供所有相關文件、文本、紀錄等，實在無法令市民知道真相。
If no relevant documents papers and records are produced as evidence the public will never know the truth
因此，今天郭榮鏗議員提出的議案，要求傳召司長到立法會交代，是正確的做法，亦可挽回公眾的信心，令公眾相信律政司在行使其檢控權力時，是否公正及獨立。
For that reason it is absolutely right for Mr Dennis KWOK to propose the motion to summon the Secretary to appear before the Council and give her explanation . In so doing public confidence can be restored and the Administration can assure the public that DoJ is impartial and independent when it exercises its prosecutorial powers
本會很嚴肅及神聖的責任，就是支持這項議案，令公眾有權並實際知道整件事的來龍去 脈，以了解為何律政司今次要打破慣例，以及是否令這個慣例永遠消失？
This Council has a solemn and sacred duty to support this motion so as to facilitate the publics right to know the reasons and development of this incident and understand why DoJ has to break the convention and whether the convention will vanish from now on
根據《議事規則》第49E9條，我不會就議案提出待決議題。
In accordance with Rule 49E9 of the Rules of Procedure I will not put any question on the motion
我不是為了環保，而是不想香港市民仍有機會質疑律政司司長、特區政府，甚至特區政府的前官員官官相衞。官官相衞是政府的第一大忌。
I reuse it not for the sake of environmental protection but because I do not want the people of Hong Kong to have any more opportunities to question if the Secretary for Justice the SAR Government and even the former officials of the SAR Government have engaged in the practice of mutual shielding since mutual shielding among officials is utterly a taboo for any government
早在第一任律政司司長梁愛詩以公眾利益為由不起訴當時星島新聞集團有限公司負責人胡仙的時候，公眾已開始憂慮手握刑事檢控權的律政司司長會否因其背後藏有不可告人的政治目的而濫用其刑事檢控權，決定是否檢控某些人。
Members of the public began to worry that the Secretary for Justice who is empowered to institute criminal prosecution would abuse the power of criminal prosecution by not prosecuting a person for any ulterior political purpose as early as the time when the first Secretary for Justice Ms Elsie LEUNG decided not to prosecute Sally AW the responsible person of Sing Tao News Corporation Limited on the grounds of public interest
因此，律政司會就政治敏感案件尋求獨立的法律意見，以示其在處理案件時並無偏頗或利益衝突，而絕非是把法律議題政治化。
Hence the Department of Justice DoJ will seek independent legal advice in respect of politically sensitive cases to show its impartiality or avoid giving rise to any conflict of interests . This has nothing to do with politicization of legal issues
倘若鄭若驊把"外判"和釋除公眾疑慮也視為政治化，我只得引用她的丈夫潘樂陶的一句話："我不知她在做甚麼"。
If Teresa CHENG deems the act of briefing out the case to allay public concerns a form of politicization I can only quote the words of her husband Otto POON I have no idea what she is doing
事緣同樣因被檢控而定罪入獄的前特首曾蔭權近日被記者問及他對自己與梁振英的待遇差別有何感覺時表示"會牽起以往內心的憤怒和怨恨"。
It originated from the remarks made by Mr Donald TSANG the former Chief Executive who also faced prosecution and was put behind bars upon conviction on his being asked by reporters recently how he felt about the difference in treatment for himself and Mr LEUNG Chun - ying . TSANG said This would trigger the past anger and resentment in my heart
檢控決定是一種重要的權力，行使時須確保高度透明。
The power to make prosecutorial decisions is important and a high degree of transparency must be ensured when the power is exercised
"這便已說明了袁國強已把案件交給楊資深大律師處理。
This has already made it clear that Mr Rimsky YUEN had referred the case to Mr Keith YEUNG for processing
新聞公報的內文直接指出"她以專業的判斷作出這個不提檢控的決定，我作為行政長官亦支持她這個決定......所以如果律政司司長作出了這個決定，亦不是不可以理解的。
It is directly stated in the text of the press release As the Chief Executive I support her decision based on her legal expertise and so it is not incomprehensible that she has made such a decision
許仕仁案當時是由黃仁龍處理，但或許因為他與許仕仁相識，為了避嫌，最終還是交由當時的刑事檢控專員薛偉成處理。
Mr WONG Yan - lung was supposed to handle the Rafael HUI case back then but perhaps because he was acquainted with Rafael HUI and for the sake of avoiding arousing suspicion the then DPP Mr Kevin ZERVOS was tasked to process the case in the end
因此，我希望鄭司長能好好反省自己究竟是否符合資格擔任律政司司長。
Hence I hope Secretary CHENG will self - reflect and mull over whether herself is qualified to serve as Secretary for Justice
主席，我當然支持郭榮鏗議員這項議案。
President I will certainly support Mr Dennis KWOKs motion
司長在2018年12月26日的記者會上表示，"律政司一貫的做法，有關刑事檢控的決定是由律政司內部作出的。除非案件涉及律政司的同事，我們才會外判"。
According to the Secretary for Justices remark at the media session on 26 December 2018 the established policy of the Department of Justice DoJ in dealing with prosecutorial decisions has been to make the decision within the department itself; and unless the case involves a member of DoJ there would not be outside counsel being engaged
他們都不是律政司內的同事，為甚麼他們 的案件卻需要尋求獨立法律意見呢？
All of them were not a member of DoJ . Why did DoJ seek independent legal advice on these cases?
司長說，如果案件涉及律政司的同事，才需要外判，但其實這只是外判的其中一個原因。
The Secretary for Justice says that a case will not be briefed out unless it involves a member of DoJ
一般來說，律政司還會在其他情況下將案件外判，其中一種情況是，律政司認為案件適宜尋求外間獨立大律師提供法律意見或服務，以免予人有偏袒的觀感或出現利益衝突的問題。
But actually this is only one of the reasons for briefing out cases . Generally speaking DoJ will also brief out a case in some other situations such as when it is deemed appropriate to obtain independent outside counsels advice or services to address possible perception of bias or issues of conflict of interests
很明顯，目的是要貫徹法治精神，讓公義能夠在人前彰顯，亦避免公眾質疑律政司是否隻手遮天，基於政治或其他非法律關係的考慮，決定不檢控一些權貴人士。
Obviously the purpose is to realize the spirit of the rule of law and manifest justice and to prevent suspicion that the Secretary for Justice is manipulating the situation and that her decision not to prosecute certain influential people is made under political or other non - legal considerations
難道找外間大律師提供法律意見，就是沒有擔當？
But is seeking outside counsels advice an irresponsible act?
當程序不公，自然會有人質疑她是否有私心。
When there is procedural injustice people will naturally suspect whether she has a secret agenda behind
我們常說，香港是一個有規有矩的地方，很多事情均有既定程序。
We often say that Hong Kong is a place of clear regulations and procedures . There are established procedures for everything
當你不做某程序，便須有很充分的原因。
When you omit a certain procedure you need to have sufficient reasons for the omission
但是，我們不能接受的原因，就是說自己很有能力、很有承擔，所以不需要做這個程序。
One reason we cannot accept is that you claim yourself very capable and responsible so much so that you skip a certain procedure
2003年，時任刑事檢控專員江樂士就不起訴梁錦松偷步買車時指出，在案件的早期階段，梁愛詩已授權他決定是否檢控梁錦松，以排除任何因她與梁錦松之前的工作關係而可能產生的偏袒感覺。
In 2003 regarding the case of Mr Antony LEUNG who jumped the gun in purchasing a car the incumbent Director of Public Prosecutions DPP Mr Ian Grenville CROSS made a point in relation to his decision not to prosecute Mr LEUNG . He said that Ms Elsie LEUNG had from the early stage of the case delegated to him the task of deciding whether or not to prosecute Mr LEUNG in order to avoid any possible perception of bias because of her former working relationship with Mr LEUNG
所以，剛才所提到的非法律關係可以是工作關係。
In other words a working relationship can be one of the non - legal considerations I just mentioned
所以，在這段期間，她會向行政長官會同行政會議匯報香港的交通運輸事宜，他們自然有某程度的工作關係。
So during this period of time she would report transport matters to the Chief Executive in Council and Ms CHENG and Mr LEUNG naturally would have a certain degree of a working relationship
不過，律政司過去處理多宗涉及政府高官或公職人員的案件，包括梁錦松、林奮強、曾蔭權、湯顯明的案件，均有尋求外間大律師的獨立法律意見，亦有公開交代律政司內部誰人負責處理相關案件。
However in handling several cases involving senior government officials or public officers including Mr Antony LEUNG Mr Franklin LAM Mr Donald TSANG and Mr Timothy TONG DoJ has sought the independent advice of outside counsel and also made public the person in DoJ who took charge of the case concerned
過往律政司司長曾就梁錦松先生案件發表聲明，在2003年12月15日，明確表示刑事檢控專員委聘了一名香港私人執業的資深大律師，根據證據、相關法律和一貫的刑事檢控政策，就應否對梁錦松先生提出檢控一事提供獨立意見，也有提及刑事檢控專員在研究資深大律師的意見後，在11月決定尋求第二意見，認為有助他作出決定。
Regarding Mr Antony LEUNGs case the Secretary for Justice issued a statement on 15 December 2003 clearly stating that DPP had engaged the service of a private member of the Bar in Hong Kong on the case . The senior counsel having considered the evidence the points of law and the established prosecution policy provided independent advice on the issue of whether a prosecution should be instituted against Mr Antony LEUNG . The statement also mentioned that DPP after considering senior counsels advice decided that seeking a second opinion would be beneficial
他於是委聘英格蘭及威爾斯一名私人執業的御用大律師，根據證據、 相關的法律和一貫的刑事檢控政策，就應否對梁先生提出檢控一事，提供獨立意見。
He then instructed a Queens Counsel at the Bar of England and Wales to provide an independent opinion on the issue of whether a prosecution of Mr LEUNG was appropriate upon application of the law and established prosecution policy to the evidence
我剛才唸出來的，便是當時律政司的聲明，時任律政司司長也有透露整個過程。
What I just read out is based on the statement made by DoJ . The Secretary for Justice at that time also made public the whole process
首先，刑事檢控專員說明決定委聘一名香港的資深大律師，也有說出他經研究後，在11月決定再尋求第二意見。
First DPP stated his decision to engage the service of leading senior counsel at the BAR of Hong Kong and that after considering the counsels advice he decided to seek second advice in November
到了今天，她是否仍然認為這句話適用於梁振英案件呢？
Today is she still of the view that this remark is applicable to LEUNG Chun - yings case?
因此，我很多謝郭榮鏗議員今天提出這項議案，讓所有議員可質疑律政司司長為何沒有跟從程序、沒有根據慣例，反而自行制作一個根本無關的理由，說除非案件涉及律政司的同事，把整個視線轉移，使公義不能彰顯。
Hence I thank Mr Dennis KWOK for moving this motion today so that all Members can have an opportunity to question the Secretary for Justice why she has not followed the procedure and the precedent cases and why she has to make up an irrelevant reason that only cases involving members of DoJ would be briefed out in order to divert our attention and prevent justice from being upheld
主席，我發言支持郭榮鏗議員根據《基本法》第七十三條第五項及第十項動議的議案。
President I rise to speak in support of Mr Dennis KWOKs motion moved pursuant to Article 735 and 10 of the Basic Law
香港大學民意研究計劃在1月7日至11日成功訪問了1,005名市民對她處理此事的手法的意見。
The Public Opinion Programme of the University of Hong Kong successfully interviewed 1 005 members of the public between 7 January and 11 January for their views on her handling of the matter
我不會全部引述，只集中看其中一些問題。
I am not going to quote all findings here and will just focus on some of the questions only
有一項問題是："過去律政司就牽涉高官嘅案件作出檢控決定時，會詳細公開交代調查結果同埋法律分析，你認為律政司今次處理梁振英UGL案件時，有幾應該或者唔應該交代詳細調查結果同埋法律理據？
One of the questions asked is In the past the Secretary for Justice would publicly account for the investigation results and legal analysis in detail when making prosecution decision on cases concerning senior government officers . Do you think it is necessary that when handling the UGL case concerning CY LEUNG the Secretary for Justice should account for the investigation results and legal analysis in detail?
"認為"應該"的人佔85%，即絕大多數市民認為司長應該詳細交代所持理據和詳細的調查結果。
85 % of the respondents considered it necessary meaning that the vast majority of the people in Hong Kong think that the Secretary should explain in detail her rationale and provide detailed investigation results
換言之，以往律政司確曾就不少個案外聘大律師以提供獨立法律意見。
In other words DoJ had really sought independent legal advice from outside counsel on a number of cases in the past
此外，律政司竟然沒能預先察覺公眾或會因她沒有尋求獨立法律意見而有這樣的質疑和觀感，實在令人費解。
Moreover it is quite puzzling that the Secretary has failed to detect in advance that the public may have such doubts and perception as a result of her not seeking independent legal advice
前刑事檢控專員江樂士指出，律政司在處理涉及高官或知名人士的敏感案件時，一般會尋求獨立的法律意見，以避免予人偏袒的觀感或利益衝突的問題。
According to former Director of Public Prosecutions Mr Ian CROSS DoJ would generally seek independent legal advice when dealing with sensitive cases involving senior government officials or well - known personalities in order to avoid giving rise to the publics perception of partiality or conflict of interests
按照慣常做法，律政司司長亦理應就今次的案件尋求外間的獨立法律意見。
As a usual practice the Secretary should have sought independent legal advice from outside on this current case
這樣做不單有助司長作出獨立的分析，更重要的，是令公眾感到放心及相信律政司司長所作出的決定妥善公正，不涉及政府內部互相偏袒及包庇的情況。
Not only will this help the Secretary to conduct an independent analysis more importantly it will help reassure members of the public that the decision made by the Secretary is impartial and proper and no mutual partialityharbouring within the Government is involved
我 不知道日後會否再有類似的情況出現。我相信數位前任律政司司長之所以會有這種做法，必是基於一些前人累積下來的智慧，明白到就是否起訴某些高層官員時，必須慎重行事，考慮公眾的觀感，令大家信服其所作出檢控與否的決定，是公正及有足夠的法律理據支持，完全沒有任何偏袒。
I cannot tell whether a similar situation will arise in the future but I do trust that the practice of seeking independent external legal advice by the several former Secretaries for Justice is based on their accumulated wisdom for they were aware of the need to exercise prudence in prosecuting certain senior officials while taking into account the publics perception in order to convince members of the public that DoJs decision on instituting prosecution or otherwise is fair adequately supported by the law and utterly impartial
律政司司長的聲明提及梁振英沒有申報收受UGL 5,000萬元，並不構成任何公職人員行為失當罪。
It is mentioned in the Secretarys statement that LEUNG Chun - yings failure to declare his acceptance of 50 million from UGL does not constitute an offence of misconduct in public office MIPO
他身處這個如此重要、主理整個社會、特區政府之首的位置，怎可能收取一間公司的利潤呢？
Being in such an important position of governing the whole community and the leader of the SAR Government how could he receive profits from a corporation?
這件事當然要調查，公眾當然關注，我們在立法會數次使用不同形式指出這件事必須調查，包括要求引用《立法會條例》成立專責委員會，但被保皇黨否決；我們用呈請的方式當時只要有20位議員站起來，便可以成立一個調查委員會，但這件事已成為歷史，因為現時連《議事規則》亦已修改，20位議員站起來也無法成立調查委員會。
We requested in various ways in the Legislative Council for an investigation of this incident including the invocation of the Legislative Council Ordinance to set up a select committee but which was vetoed by the royalist camp . We also requested through presentation of a petition . Back then only when 20 Members stood up an investigation committee could be formed
雖然它不是根據《立法會條例》而成立，但也是一個獨立的委員會。
Although it was not set up pursuant to the Legislative Council Ordinance it was still an independent committee
案件的確牽涉立法會議員，為何律政司司長可以只回應這件事證據不足，不能檢控？
The case indeed involves a Member of the Legislative Council . How could the Secretary for Justice only respond that they would not prosecute due to insufficient evidence?
鄭若驊司長過往跟梁振英有否有工作關係呢？
Was there a working relationship between Secretary for Justice Teresa CHENG and LEUNG Chun - ying in the past?
很明顯是有的，這是已經說過的，鄭若驊當年是交通諮詢委員會主席，她當年需要向行政會議報告，而梁振英多年來也是行政會議的成員，甚至是召集人，所以他們兩人之間當然有工作關係。
Obviously there was and this has already been mentioned . Back then Ms Teresa CHENG was Chairman of the Transport Advisory Committee who needed to report to the Executive Council annually while LEUNG Chun - ying had been a Member and even the Convenor of the Executive Council for many years . Hence there was surely a working relationship between them
明顯地，這與過往的政策做法不同，最低限度，也有數份公開文件指出了相關情況，其中一個情況，是當這名可能被控人士是律政司的內部人員，但仍然有其他數個情況，為何她不清楚呢？
It is apparent that this approach is at odds with the past policy . There are at least a few public documents highlighting the circumstances concerned one of which is that the person who may be prosecuted is a member of DoJ but there are still a few other circumstances . Why is she unclear about them?
於是他更責怪司長身旁的人不好好通知她，令她作出了錯誤決定。
He thus even put the blame on her colleagues for not properly informing her so that she made a mistake
他說這顯然並非公眾把法律問題政治化，而是律政司需要就政治敏感的事件，按既定政策尋求獨立意見，以向公眾保證在處理個案時沒有偏頗及利益衝突。
According to him the public obviously have not politicized the legal matter but DoJ needed to seek independent advice on this politically sensitive case in accordance with the established policy with a view to ensuring the public that the case was handled without bias or conflict of interests
現時來到立法會，我們提出要傳召她以聽取她的解釋，她又說我們干涉其刑事檢控的獨立性，又說披露有關資料會剝奪相關人士的保障，把立法會變為公審場地。
And now in the Legislative Council we ask to summon her in order to listen to her explanation but she says that we are interfering with the independence of criminal prosecution and that disclosing the related information will deprive the person concerned of his protection turning the Legislative Council into a place for public trial
香港是否已經失去了廉潔？
Has Hong Kong already lost its integrity?
香港是否已經失去了法治？
Has Hong Kong already lost its rule of law?
律政司司長是否仍配繼續坐在這位置上呢？
Is the Secretary for Justice still worthy of this position?
主席，正如不少議員指出，《基本法》第六十三條訂明，律政司主管香港的刑事檢控工作，不受任何干涉。
President as pointed out by many Members Article 63 of the Basic Law prescribes that the Department of Justice DoJ of Hong Kong shall control criminal prosecutions free from any interference
因此，在並非必要的情況下，不應動輒將作出刑事檢控決定的憲制責任與專業判斷，外判給外間的私人執業大律師代理。
Therefore the constitutional responsibility and professional judgment of making prosecutorial decision should not be readily briefed out to barristers in private practices unless it is absolutely necessary
這亦是律政司決定就鄭若驊司長的寓所僭建案，徵詢外間大律師意見的原因。
This is the reason for DoJ to seek opinion from private barrister in the case where unauthorized building works are found at the residence of Secretary Teresa CHENG
其他適用情況包括，案件需要專家協助，而司內並無足夠所需技能。
Other applicable conditions include the necessity to seek expert assistance while the requisite skill is not adequately available within the Department
在今次議案所針對的UGL案，我便看不到涉及相似的情況。
But I cannot see any similar condition in the UGL case referred to in this motion
