There is no appeal against the second declaration. In any

event, we agree with the judge’s conclusion and the reasons stated by him,
F
namely, that:
“126. For the reasons given, I have concluded that art.30 of the
Basic Law and art.14 of the Bill of Rights (both as read with
art.39(2) of the Basic Law), in protecting the same fundamental
right in essentially the same manner, incorporate into their
constitutional requirements the need for the existence of laws
which make for legal certainty and require that any limitations on
the right, as a characteristic of that legal certainty, be
proportionate. On that basis, I fail to see how it can be said that
s.33 meets the requirements of those constitutional articles upon
which the applicants have relied.”

In para. 97 of the judgment, the judge concluded as follows:
P
“97. In summary, it has not been demonstrated to me that the
Chief Executive, in failing to appoint a date for the
implementation of the IOC Ordinance, has exceeded his powers
and thereby acted unlawfully. I am satisfied he has at all times
acted within his powers. There will be no declaration that he has
acted unlawfully nor will there be a declaration that he must
forthwith appoint a day for implementing the IOC Ordinance.”
