It’s time for Beverley McLachlin to quit Hong Kong’s high court
Beverley McLachlin is one of the most celebrated jurists in Canada and, indeed, around the world.
She has faced repeated calls to step down on the grounds that the presence of so celebrated a Western jurist on the court lends cover to what is really going in the former British territory: that is, China’s erosion of basic rights thanks to the imposition of a draconian National Security Law in 2020, and the steady loss of independence by Hong Kong courts.after the president and vice-president of the U.K.
By her own bar, then, it time for Ms. McLachlin to walk away. Two decisions by the CFA are evidence of this. In the other case, from 2022, the court stood up to Beijing and its puppets in Hong Kong by denying a request from the Secretary for Justice to prevent Mr. Lai from hiring a British lawyer. So what did Beijing do? It colluded with the Hong Kong administration to effectively bar the British lawyer from representing Mr. Lai in court.
