Debated in Parliament on 2 Sep 2019.
Order for Second Reading read.
Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Minister for Law, I beg to move, "That the Bill be now read a Second time."
This Bill is linked to the previous Bill on our Order Paper, the Reciprocal Enforcement of Foreign Judgments (Amendment) Bill. In the debate that we have just had on the REFJA Amendment Bill, I have already explained the amendments proposed in both Bills. Members have already raised their questions and expressed their views on both Bills during the earlier debate, although they are still welcome to do so now if there are any. Sir, on this basis, I beg to move.
Question proposed.
No speakers?
Question put, and agreed to.
Bill accordingly read a Second time and committed to a Committee of the whole House.
The House immediately resolved itself into a Committee on the Bill. – [Mr Edwin Tong Chun Fai].
Bill considered in Committee; reported without amendment; read a Third time and passed.
