Zhang Guojun, deputy director of the Department of Justice of Hong Kong, believes that Hong Kong is more open than other regions of ordinary legal judicial jurisdictions, and said that other regions are not allowed to allow overseas lawyers to deal with national security cases.
Comprehensive Hong Kong Ming Pao and Wenhui.com reported that Zhang Guojun said on Sunday (March 19) that other ordinary law judicial jurisdictions are not allowedProject recognition system.
The Department of Justice has previously proposed to join the screening procedure before applying for an overseas lawyer to apply for a project to recognize. Before the overseas lawyer applies to participate in the national security case, he shall get a notice of applying for a permitted application for the Chief Executive.Hong Kong lawyers will question the procedure repeatedly and do not match cost -effectiveness.
Zhang Guojun said that some people have published their opinions earlier and are worried that if there is no screening procedure, the abuse system may occur, and it will continue to apply for replacement of different overseas lawyers, causing delays of interrogation, or increasing the burden of court resources.
Zhang Guojun believes that if the Department of Justice sees the gray area but does not fill the loopholes, he believes that the society will not forgive the law and politics, and the Department of Justice will not be blamed.
