Early Retirement of the Honourable Chief Justice
The Honourable Chief Justice Mr Andrew Kwok-nang Li has decided to take early retirement. He has written to the Chief Executive to give notice of early retirement, ceasing service on August 31, 2010 and commencing pre-retirement leave on September 1, 2010.
"I believe that my early retirement is in the best interests of the Judiciary. My early retirement will be conducive to orderly succession planning in the Judiciary in the coming years. Further, by August 31, 2010, I would have completed 13 years service as Chief Justice and I consider it is appropriate for there to be a change in the leadership of the Judiciary after such a period. Taking early retirement is also consistent with my personal wishes. I would have worked for over 37 years by August 2010," the Chief Justice stated.

Unless you are a suitably qualified lawyer, it would be very unwise to try to carry out the settlement of your own property. It's a complex and time consuming business, with many traps for the unwary.The main difference between employing a settlement agent as opposed to a lawyer is that settlement agents are not qualified to give you legal advice. However, a settlement agent is required by law to let you know when it is a good idea to get legal advice. It is a good time to think about employing a settlement agent or a lawyer when you make the decision to start looking at properties.You are free to choose or change your conveyancer at any time. However, if you do, you may be required to pay some money to any previous conveyancer for the work already done on your behalf.Lawyers tend to charge similar amounts to those charged by settlement agents, but you should check that this is the case.
