有關政策和指引亦訂明，為免予人有偏袒的感覺或出現利益衝突的問題，律政司如認為適宜，可就案件尋求外間的法律意見或服務。
The relevant policy and guideline also state that for addressing the perception of bias or issues of conflict of interests DoJ may seek outside legal opinion or service where it sees fit . The opposition primarily cites the above when raising their queries
反對派主要質疑這一點，認為涉及UGL案件的梁振英先生，既是前特首，又是現任全國政協副主席，加上律政司過往曾就部分涉及現任及前任政府高官的案件，徵詢外間大律師、甚至是英國御用大律師的意見，那麼為何這次就UGL案又不這樣做呢？
Mr LEUNG Chun - ying who is involved in the UGL case is a former Chief Executive and an incumbent Vice - Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference . On top of this DoJ has sought advice from outside barristers or even Queens Counsels in the United Kingdom in relation to some cases involving incumbent or former senior government officials . So why does DoJ not do this in the UGL case in question?
鄭司長上周在立法會回應議員質詢時已清楚說明，根據指引，某宗案件的性質是否敏感，從來不是硬性需要外判的準則。
Secretary CHENG did answer clearly in the Legislative Council last week when replying to a Members question saying whether it was a sensitive case or not was never a criterion for mandatory briefing out under the guideline
將案件外判或尋求外間法律意見，並非律政司的慣常做法。
It is not a norm of DoJ to brief out cases or to seek outside legal advice
律政司刑事檢控科每年處理超過3,000宗案件，在過去多年，就案件的檢控決定尋求外間法律意見的數字寥寥可數。
The DoJs Prosecutions Division handles more than 3 000 cases a year and over the years it has only sought outside legal advice a few times in relation to its prosecutorial decisions
對於涉及現任、前任官員或其他政治敏感人物的案件，亦非每一宗也會外判處理。
Not all cases involving incumbent or former government officials or other politically sensitive persons will be briefed out
例如，有關前發展局局長麥齊光先生涉及騙取房津的案件，以及本會議員兼行政會議成員林健鋒議員涉及不小心駕駛的案件，律政司經考慮後，最終亦未有徵詢外間法律意見。
For instance with regard to the former Secretary for Development Mr MAK Chai - kwongs case of fraudulent claims for housing allowance and the Executive Councillor and Legislative Councillor Mr Jeffrey LAMs case of careless driving DoJ eventually did not seek outside legal opinion after giving the cases due consideration
針對UGL案，根據鄭司長解釋，在作出是否檢控的決定時，並沒有受到涉案人身份或政治因素的影響，純粹是根據證據是否足夠而作決定。
According to the justification provided by Secretary CHENG the prosecutorial decision regarding the UGL case is made purely on the adequacy of evidence . The identity of the person involved or other political factors are not considered
相關的做法，正正突顯了香港的司法獨立。
The relevant approach highlights exactly Hong Kongs judicial independence
同時，根據過往的法庭案例，有關予人偏袒感覺及出現利益衝突的外判指引，亦適用於相關案件。
Meanwhile the briefing out guideline on addressing perception of bias or issues of conflict of interests is also applicable to other relevant cases as shown in previous court cases
沒有理由因為某涉案人是政治人物，甚至純粹由於他是某些人士所針對的對象，便要背棄法治和律政司作獨立專業判斷的原則和精神，在決定是否檢控時，要特別有多一重手續、多一重考慮。
It also is unfair and unjust to the person involved as it is unreasonable to put in place an extra step and give the case further deliberation at the expense of the principle and spirit underlying the rule of law and DoJs independent professional judgment simply because the person concerned is a political figure or just because he is somebodys target of criticism
如果所有涉及政治人物的案件，律政司也要尋求外間法律意見，在4年前的違法佔中案，有很多涉案的反對派人士至今也沒有被檢控，社會上也有不少人懷疑背後是否有政治考慮，質疑政府是否不敢得罪反對派、不敢得罪某些外國勢力。
It is suggested that DoJ should seek outside legal advice on all cases involving political figures . To date many from the opposition camp who were involved in the illegal Occupy Central case four years ago have yet to be prosecuted . This has given rise to a lot of suspicions in the community questioning if there is political consideration behind the move and if the Government is so timid that it dare not offend the opposition and certain foreign powers
那麼，有關案件又是否應該徵詢外間法律意見，是否應該傳召律政司司長到立法會交代和解釋呢？
Should outside legal opinion be sought in the cases concerned? . Should the Secretary for Justice be summoned to the Legislative Council to report and explain the cases?
是否要如郭榮鏗議員這次提出的議案所說，要公開所有相關文件、紀錄和證據，讓全港700萬市民公審呢？
Should all relevant papers records or evidence be made public as proposed in the current motion raised by Mr Dennis KWOK for a trial by all the 7 million people across the territory?
作為專業界的一分子，我一直強調專業人士的獨立和操守至為重要，無論他們是任職政府抑或私人執業，他們提供的專業意見都應該是獨立和根據相關事實作出的判斷。
As a member of the professional sector I always highlight the paramount importance of professional independence and conduct . It does not matter whether the professionals are practising in the public or the private sector the professional advice they give should be independent and evidence - based
不過，對於涉及政治人物的刑事檢控決定，部分議員似乎認為凡事外判就等於好，唯有外判大律師和他們的法律意見才算是獨立和專業的。
However some Members seem to believe that briefing out is always better with regard to criminal prosecutorial decisions involving political figures . To these Members only outside barristers and their legal advice are independent and professional
我代表的業界有不少公務員或政府合約僱員。
There are many civil servants or government contract employees in the sector that I represent
在律政司工作的一眾政府律師亦然。
The same is true for the team of government counsels working in DoJ
他們都接受過嚴格的專業訓練，是擁有相關專業知識和資格的法律工作者。
These legal practitioners have undergone vigorous professional training and possess relevant professional know - how and qualifications
他們向政府提供的各類法律意見，以及根據相關法律和政策所作的檢控決定，本身都是獨立和專業的。
The various sorts of legal advice they give to the Government as well as the prosecutorial decisions they make in accordance with the relevant laws and policies are themselves independent and professional
如果他們每次遇上涉及政治人物的案件，便不加思索尋求外間意見，會否反而不專業呢？
If they routinely sought outside advice whenever they meet cases involving political figures would it be unprofessional?
這會否是缺乏承擔和不負責任的表現呢？
Will this be a sign of lacking commitment and sense of responsibility on the part of these government counsels?
事實上，回歸後歷任的律政司司長和部分律政司高層，之前都是私人執業的大律師或律師。
As a matter of fact all Secretaries for Justice we have had after the reunification as well as some other senior members of DoJ were private practice barristers or solicitors previously
鄭司長上任前是私人執業的法律界人士。
Secretary CHENG was a legal practitioner in private practice before assuming the current position
此外，每年也有不少政府律師由於不同理由離開律政司，轉為私人執業，當中包括現任大律師公會主席戴啟思。
Moreover many government lawyers leave DoJ for private practices because of various reasons every year and among them is Philip J DYKES incumbent chairman of the Hong Kong Bar Association
再者，即使律政司決定就某宗涉及政治人物的案件尋求外間法律意見，外界也可能質疑為何要找這一位大律師而不是其他大律師，爭拗會否變得沒完沒了呢？
Moreover even if Doj decides to seek outside legal advice with regard to a certain case which involves a political figure outsiders may query why this particular barrister is chosen but not the other . Will the dispute drag on incessantly?
相反，如果律政司決定檢控某位不受反對派歡迎的政治人物，即使沒有尋求外間的法律意見，反對派會否又有不同的說法呢？
Conversely if DoJ decides to prosecute a political figure who is unpopular among the opposition would they respond differently even if outside legal advice has not been sought?
我希望大家不要對人不對事，不要再為政治利益或私人恩怨而罔顧事實和法律原則，無所不用其極地向律政司及司長施壓。
I hope we can refrain from making things personal stop shrugging off facts and legal principles and resorting to all possible ways in exerting pressure onto DoJ and the Secretary for Justice just for the sake of political interests or personal conflicts
這樣對香港法治並非好事，亦對律政司內一眾專業人員的專業性及獨立性有欠公允。
This is harmful to the rule of law in Hong Kong and unjust to the team of professionals working in DoJ with professionalism and independence
誠然，律政司處理今次事件的手法有改善的空間，例如在律政司公布有關決定後，司長隨即休假離港，難免令人覺得是有意迴避，不想向公眾交代解釋。
Indeed there is room for improvement in DoJs handling of the incident in question . For instance the Secretary for Justice left Hong Kong for a vacation right after DoJ announced the relevant decision . People will inevitably have the impression that it is the Secretary for Justices intention to avoid giving an account or an explanation to the public
此外，我以前也說過，對於部分涉及政治敏感人物的案件，包括一些涉及反對派人士公然違法的案件，即使證據確鑿，甚至連涉案人都表明願意承擔罪責，律政司往往拖延多年才決定是否檢控，難免會令人在觀感上覺得相關決定涉及政治考慮。
In addition as I have said before it is not uncommon for DoJ to delay making prosecutorial decision on cases which involve politically sensitive people including those from the opposition camp who broke the law openly despite the presence of sound evidence and even their stated commitment to bear legal consequence . This will convey an impression that the relevant decision is made with political consideration
希望司長能從中汲取教訓，提升公眾對律政司的獨立性及專業性的信心。
I hope the Secretary for Justice can learn from the experience and boost public confidence in the independence and professionalism of DoJ
我謹此陳辭，反對郭榮鏗議員的議案。
With these remarks I oppose the motion proposed by Mr Dennis KWOK
主席，我謹以內務委員會主席的身份，根據《議事規則》第49E2條，動議印載在議程內的議案，讓議員就《內務委員會有關 研究附屬法例及其他文書的第9/18-19號報告》內的《逃犯令》進行辯論。
President in my capacity as Chairman of the House Committee I move the motion as printed on the Agenda in accordance with Rule 49E2 of the Rules of Procedure be passed so that Members can debate the Fugitive Offenders France Order as set out in Report No . 918 - 19 of the House Committee on Consideration of Subsidiary Legislation and Other Instruments
主席，《基本法》第六十三條寫得很清楚："律政司主管刑事檢控工作，不受任何干涉"。
President Article 63 of the Basic Law states clearly that The Department of Justice of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall control criminal prosecutions free from any interference
所以，不論律政司對任何案件作出檢控或不檢控的決定，也是受到《基本法》保障的權力，任何人士，包括立法會也不應作出任何干涉或施壓，否則便是干預律政司獨立的檢控權力。
Therefore no matter whether the Department of Justice makes a decision to prosecute or not it is a power protected by the Basic Law . Nobody including the Legislative Council should intervene or put pressure on it . Otherwise it is an intervention into the independent prosecution power of the Department of Justice
主席，傳召司長到立法會交代不檢控某個個案的決定，其實便是透過公開的平台再向律政司施壓，這種做法等於不理會律政司處理刑事檢控工作有不受干預的憲制原則及保障，意圖利用立法會這個政治平台，就個別個案向律政司施壓，藉此達到他們某些政治目的，故此民建聯反對傳召，亦認為這項議案不恰當，甚至影響落實《基本法》其他條文。
President in fact to summon the Secretary to this Council to explain why she has made a decision not to prosecute in a specific case is virtually putting pressure on the Department of Justice in an open platform . This is tantamount to ignoring the constitutional principle and protection that the Department of Justice may enjoy and attempting to put pressure on the Department of Justice on an individual case through the political platform of the Legislative Council with a view to serving some political purposes . For that reason The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong opposes the motion of summon and considers it inappropriate as it may even affect the implementation of other Articles of the Basic Law
主席，其實這項傳召議案的實質目的很明顯，便是反對派進一步針對梁振英的政治行動。
President the actual purpose of the motion of summon is too obvious . The opposition is stepping up its political action against LEUNG Chun - ying
大家回想一下，其實CY由未上任開始，反對派已叫他下台，而上任後反對派亦用盡一切手段，對他進行所有可能的政治追擊。
Members should recall that actually long before LEUNG Chun - ying assumed his office the opposition had urged him to step down . After LEUNG Chun - ying assumed his office as the Chief Executive the opposition had been trying every possible means to attack him politically
今次UGL事件，我相信市民一點也不陌生，因為在議會已反反覆覆多次討論，"翻炒又翻炒"。
The UGL case this time around is nothing strange to the public I believe because it has been discussed by Legislative Council on numerous occasions and it has been rehashed for numerous times
先在2014年11月和2016年10月要求引用《立法會條例》進行調查，又在2016年11月透過呈請書的方式，要求成立專責委員會調查有關事宜。
First some Members requested to conduct an inquiry into the case by invoking the Legislative Council Ordinance in November 2014 and October 2016 . In November 2016 Members requested the establishment of a Select Committee to look into the matter by way of presenting a petition
主席，除了在立法會"窮追猛打"，其實反對派亦有直接向廉政公署舉報，還有一些反對派特地在11月時到澳洲、有些則在9月時到 英國舉報，要求當地執法機構跟進UGL事件。
President besides the hot pursuit in the Legislative Council the opposition has actually reported the case to the Independent Commission Against Corruption ICAC in person . Some Members of the opposition even went to Australia in November others went to Britain in September to report the case to the respective law - enforcing institutions and urged them to follow up the UGL case
所以，大家看到很多今天發言的議員，為了追擊梁振英已想了很多辦法，但其結果如何？
Therefore we can see that many Members who have spoken today have tried every possible means to attack LEUNG Chun - ying but what have they achieved?
其實大家只要想想，背後原因很簡單，因為當時不控告、不處理"黑金"，便是他們想要的結果，而今天不跟進UGL事件，其實就是因為他們不同意不向梁先生作出檢控，所以才有如此大的反應。
In fact if we think it over the reason behind that is very simple . It was because the Department decided not to initiate any prosecution and not to deal with the black gold incident which was the outcome they wanted . However they react strongly today because they find it unacceptable that the department has decided not to follow up the UGL case and not to prosecute LEUNG Chun - ying
主席，其實反對派對梁振英的反對立場人所共知，無論提出任何理由解釋，總之不提檢控便一定是錯、一定是政治決定，我亦看不到他們怎樣才會"收貨"，所以，今次的傳召無論怎樣看也不過是希望透過立法會的公開平台，進一步施壓以達致他們的政治目的。
It must be a political decision . I cannot see what result they would find satisfactory to them . Therefore the purpose of the motion of summon this time around is nothing more than putting further pressure through the platform of the Legislative Council in order to achieve their political goals
主席，由於議員在這事上的立場已經太清晰，反對派剛才說偏頗，其實誰才偏頗呢？
President all Members are having too clear a stance on this matter . Just now the opposition said we are biased . But actually who are biased?
或許我們應該這樣說，我們也要照照鏡子，審視一下自己，可能每個人對這事已有既定立場，所以我認為本會根本不適宜繼續跟進UGL事件，留待我們的專業機構繼續處理。
Or perhaps we should say that we also need to look at the mirror and judge ourselves . Perhaps every Member already has heher own stance on this matter therefore I consider that it is not suitable for this Council to follow up the UGL case and we should leave it to our professional institutions
主席，我謹此陳辭，反對議案。
With these remarks President I oppose the motion
今天下午聽罷梁美芬議員的發言，我認為她論據清晰、完整而有理。
I have listened to the speech made by Dr Priscilla LEUNG this afternoon and consider her arguments clear complete and reasonable
之後我又聽到楊岳橋議員在發言時雄辯滔滔、理直氣壯，但卻認為他有點強詞奪理。
Mr Alvin YEUNG also spoke subsequently in an eloquent forceful and confident manner but I think he was just indulging himself in sophistry
梁美芬議員不幸已發言完畢，因此沒有機會回應這些強詞奪理的論點。
Dr Priscilla LEUNG has regrettably finished her speech and will therefore have no chance to respond to such arguments which are mere sophistry
所以，我決定放棄原已預備的講稿，在此就楊岳橋議員批評梁美芬議員的發言中4個屬歪理的論點表達意見，讓公眾明白當中的道理。
I have thus decided to drop the prepared script of my speech and express my views here on four fallacies in the arguments presented by Mr Alvin YEUNG when he criticized Dr Priscilla LEUNG just now so that the public can understand the reasoning behind
當然，我明白自己並非最後一位發言的議員，而最後發言的那一位的聲音永遠較大，相信稍後也會有反對派議員批評我的說話不知所謂，但不要緊，我希望立此存照，把道理說清楚。
I certainly know that I am not the last Member to speak and the last one to speak is always in the most favourable position . I am sure other Members of the opposition camp will also try to refute my viewpoints later but it does not matter because I just wish to put my views on record and present a clear reasoning of my arguments here
這句說話聽來的確十分舒服，好像很有道理，立法會其中一個職能確實是向政府官員提出質詢。
This is really pleasing to the ears and it sounds perfectly reasonable because one of the functions of this Council is to raise questions to public officers
所以，就着很多不同的公共政策，包括交通、衞生和房屋等政策，我們均有權提出質詢，而官員亦樂意前來立法會接受質詢，這是行政與立法之間的關係。
Hence we do have the power to raise questions to the Government on different public policy issues including transport health care and housing and public officers are also willing to attend before this Council to answer questions . This is the relationship between the Executive Authorities and the legislature
我認為答案相當清楚。
I think the answer is very obvious
至於第三個歪理，我聽到楊岳橋議員指出，涉及公職人員的案件須尋求外間法律意見，這已是約定俗成的做法。
As for the third fallacy according to Mr Alvin YEUNG it is an established practice that external legal advice must be sought in cases involving public servants
多位泛民議員剛才也不斷重複提出某些案例，指律政司確曾就此尋求外間法律意見。
A number of pan - democratic Members have repeatedly cited certain cases just now to illustrate that external legal advice has indeed been sought by the Department of Justice in similar cases
第四個歪理是楊岳橋議員批評梁美芬議員引用黎智英一案作為例子是不倫不類，因為黎先生並非公職人員，她應該引用其他例子，而非作出不適當的比喻。
The fourth fallacy lies in the criticism made by Mr Alvin YEUNG against Dr Priscilla LEUNG in connection with her citing the case of Jimmy LAI as an example . He does not consider this an appropriate example because Mr LAI is not a public servant and it is his opinion that Dr LEUNG should use other examples to illustrate her points instead of making an inappropriate analogy
此外，就有關損款所作的解釋更可說是匪夷所思，包括收款人指那是代收款項，也有人聲稱戶口內的款項並不屬於自己，又有人在收受利益後辯稱自己沒有不當行為。
Besides the explanations made in respect of these donations are way beyond our imagination . Some payees have argued that they were receiving the donations on behalf of other parties while some have alleged that the money in their accounts did not actually belong to them and some have explained after receiving benefits that there was no misconduct on their part
他們最終沒有被檢控，律政司亦沒有尋求外間法律意見。
The Department of Justice has not sought any external legal advice in respect of the case and ultimately no prosecution has been instituted against them
黎智英先生雖然不是公職人員，但這宗案件顯然涉及多名公職人員有否不當地收受款項，為甚麼這是個不適當的例子呢？
Although Mr Jimmy LAI is not a public servant the case obviously involves the allegation of receipt of contributions by public servants in an improper manner so why is it not an appropriate example?
關於尋求外間法律意見，他認為根據《基本法》第六十三條，是否就案件作出檢控完全是律政司司長一人的職責，在考慮是否檢控的過程中需否尋求外間法律意見，則要基於證據本身。
With regard to the seeking of external legal advice he opined that under Article 63 of the Basic Law it was the sole responsibility of the Secretary for Justice to determine whether prosecution should be instituted and when considering whether prosecution action should be instigated a decision to seek external legal advice should be based on the evidence obtained
他慨嘆若社會有一種趨勢認為應就某人應否被檢控和定罪進行公開辯論，這會是香港非常悲哀的一天。
He expressed his lamentation that it would be a very sad day for Hong Kong if it has become a social trend that open debates should be held to discuss whether a certain person should be prosecuted and convicted
就是以免可能予人偏袒的觀感，或者有利益衝突的問題。
That is to avoid giving the public an impression that there is bias or a conflict of interest
代理主席，我首先很感謝郭榮鏗議員提出今次的議案，我亦表示支持。
Deputy President first of all I thank Mr Dennis KWOK for moving todays motion . I support this motion
今次的議案是根據《中華人民共和國香港特別行政區基本法》第七十三條第五項和第十項，要求傳召律政司司長鄭若驊，就其不檢控梁振英先生一事作供，並出示相關文據、簿冊、紀錄和文件，以及作證和提供證據。
The motion this time is moved pursuant to Article 735 and 10 of the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China to summon the Secretary for Justice Ms Teresa CHENG to attend before the Council and to produce all relevant papers books records or documents and to testify or give evidence on her decision of not prosecuting Mr LEUNG Chun - ying and relevant matters
代理主席，今次的辯論很好，好處便是如果今天有觀看直播的市民便會看到很多如"成語動畫廊"的片段，例如建制派如何指鹿為馬、黑白不分等，以下可以繼續以一千字數下去。
Deputy President the debate this time is quite good as it seems to show to the public who are watching the telecast of todays debate another episode of the television programme Stories of Idioms about pro - establishment Members calling a stag a horse and confounding black and white and so on . I can go on enumerating that with 1 000 words
我認為保皇黨是罔顧事實、避談先例、砌詞狡辯護短，阻礙調查已有4年多的案件，令公義不彰。
I consider that the pro - establishment has disregarded the fact and avoided mentioning precedents made specious arguments to defend her obstructed the investigation of a case which has dragged on for four years or more and in the end justice could not be upheld
他們指鹿為馬的背後，是否有政治動機，從而益惠他們或讓他們取得一些政治利益呢？
What has caused them to call a stag a horse? . Is it politically motivated so that they can reap certain benefits or political gains?
我相信他們不是眼盲、心盲或埋沒良心，一定是有一股十分大的力量，迫使他們如此指鹿為馬般地表達意見。
I believe they are not visually impaired blind at heart or acting against their own conscience . They are instead forced by a very powerful power to express their views by calling a stag a horse
剛才很多議員指出，根據過去多次牽涉高官或政要的案件，包括同事剛剛提及的梁錦松案、曾蔭權案、湯顯明案、林奮強案，以及許仕仁案等，這些案件其實也有聘請獨立的外間大律師尋求法律意見。
Just now a number of Members have pointed out that according to previous cases involving senior government officials or prominent political figures including the Antony LEUNG case Donald TSANG case Timothy TONG case Franklin LAM case Rafael HUI case and so on as mentioned by Members just now the Department of Justice DoJ had actually sought legal opinions from outside counsels
我舉一例子看回有關紀錄例如就着是否控告湯顯明的調查聘請了獨立大律師。
I wish to quote an example . If we take a look at the record DoJ hired an independent counsel to study if the Department needed to institute prosecution against Timothy TONG in its investigation
有沒有人鍥而不捨地爭拗？
Was anybody persistently debating over the case?
大家都很清晰，如果可以說清楚理據，社會比較容易接受，縱使大家抱持不同說法，但大家也不會就着程序而鍥而不捨地去爭辯。
Everybody was informed of the reason clearly . If the authorities can give the justifications the society at large will find it more acceptable . Even if the authorities are holding a different explanation we will not debate over the case persistently
同樣情況下，例如梁錦松案、林奮強案，其實也有類似的情況，當中所說的也是律政司根據其擁有的權力和責任，公正持平地聘請獨立的外聘大律師，從而決定是否檢控，當然，亦有一些案件後來有決定檢控的，就像剛才很多議員提及的曾蔭權案和許仕仁案。
The same happened in the Antony LEUNG case and Franklin LAM case . DoJ also indicated that it had exercised its powers and responsibilities to hire independent outside counsels to provide unbiased legal opinions regarding whether or not a prosecution should be instituted . Of course in some cases DoJ decided to institute prosecutions such as the Donald TSANG case and Rafael HUI case that Members have mentioned just now
然而，很多屬於建制派的人士，包括前刑事檢控專員江樂士曾指出：處理高官或知名人士的敏感案件，一般也會尋求獨立的法律意見，以避免予人偏頗觀感或出現利益衝突。
Deputy President it is because the approach has undermined the trust of Hong Kong people in the rule of law and our confidence in the rule of law . Nevertheless a lot of people from the pro - establishment camp including the former Director of Public Prosecutions Mr Grenville CROSS have pointed out that when handling sensitive cases involving senior government officials or well - known figures independent outside legal opinions would generally be sought in order to address possible perceptions of bias or issues of conflict of interest
就這次事件，江樂士認為按一貫做法，律政司司長理應向外尋求獨立法律意見，這樣做不單能幫助律政司作出獨立的分析，更重要是令公眾放心案件得到妥善處理，涉案者並無因為其身份和地位而得到優待。
As to this incident Mr CROSS considered that according to the established practice the Secretary for Justice should seek independent legal opinions from outside . That would not only help the Department in making independent analysis the most important effect is to make the public feel that the case is in good hands and the person involved would not enjoy preferential treatment due to hisher status and position . Deputy President all of the above are the cruxes of todays debate
結果可能是沒有需要提告，亦可以還梁振英一個清白，以及重點是《基本法》第六十三條所說的不偏不倚， "老兄"，為何同事不說？
Perhaps according to the independent legal opinions no charge would be laid and that will clear the reputation of LEUNG Chun - ying . The key point is impartiality as implied in Article 63 of the Basic Law . Buddy why our colleagues fail to mention that?
你要令人覺得你不偏不倚，不僅是你說自己不偏不倚便可以，代理主席，你要真的令人看到你的程序是不偏不倚，不能令人詬病。
You should be seen being impartial . It is not enough for you to say that you are impartial . Deputy President you should let people see that you are impartial and you have adhered to the due process
代理主席，可笑的是，同事引述《基本法》第六十三條，卻不引述第四十七條。
You should also avoid being cavilled at . Deputy President the most ridiculous thing is that when our colleagues quote Article 63 of the Basic Law they fail to quote Article 47
第四十七條正正是我剛才所說，為何另一個現時身在獄中的前高官前政務司司長許仕仁，他在上任政務司司長前收取了一個財團的850萬元，最後被裁定有罪呢？
Article 47 manifests what I have said just now . Why was the former Chief Secretary for Administration Rafael HUI one of the senior officials being jailed now found guilty ultimately for collecting a sum of 8.5 million from a consortium before he assumed the office as the Chief Secretary for Administration?
就是因為法庭認為這種做法牽涉到"黃金枷鎖"的概念，令人覺得政府高官和高層在此事中會構成公眾利益衝突或偏頗，所以，最後便有如此定罪。
It was because the court considered that it involved the concept of golden fetters and it might give rise to public suspicion about conflict of interest or senior officials and high - ranking officers being biased and therefore he was convicted subsequently
如果從這些案例來看，這次律政司的做法其實很不尋常。
If we look at these cases the practice of DoJ this time is actually quite uncommon
