Hong Kong Ordinances

PROBATE AND ADMINISTRATION ORDINANCE - SECT 49A

Amendment of Schedule 2

Due to technical constraints, sections 49A, 49AA and 49AB of this Ordinance
are placed after section 49 in the BLIS system. The correct sequence of the
sections should be "49, 49AA, 49AB, 49A".

(1) The Chief Executive in Council may, by order in the Gazette, add to or
delete from Schedule 2 the name of a country or place if he is satisfied that
the condition in subsection (2) is complied with or has ceased to be complied
with (as the case may be) in respect of that country or place.

(2) The condition referred to in subsection (1) is that, in the event of the
benefits conferred by this Part being applied to probate and
letters of administration granted by the court of a country or place outside
Hong Kong, similar benefits will in that country or place be applied to
probate and letters of administration granted by the court of Hong Kong.
