Extension for Justice William Gummow, an Australian who joined top court in 2013, follows past wave of resignations by foreign justices
An overseas non-permanent judge of Hong Kong’s top court has extended his term of office for another three years, following a number of resignations from other foreign justices in recent years.
The judiciary announced on Friday that Justice William Gummow, an Australian who joined the Court of Final Appeal in 2013, and two other local non-permanent judges would remain in their positions for another three years.
Gummow will begin his new term next Tuesday, while the other two local judges, Justice Frank Stock and Justice Patrick Chan Siu-oi, will start their next terms in September and October, respectively.
