Can I just say one thing about that?
The problem with a foreign judge sitting in Hong Kong today is that they give a veneer of respectability to a system that has dissolved underneath the edifice of the rule of law. There is nothing there anymore, but it is a dressing, like the foreign judges. They still have, of course, the courtrooms. They still wear the robes.
I'm afraid, with no disrespect to her personally, Beverley McLachlin has become part of that dressing. She's become part of the appearance of the rule of law, but she is not significantly contributing to its substance, as much as she'd like to think that she is. She's probably doing more harm than good, although her individual contribution, I'm sure, is nothing short of excellent in what it is. However, it's this appearance, this veneer, that we think is doing the damage.
