1. On 6 April, we handed down our judgment on those grounds of appeal which related to the compatibility of (a) the judge's directions to the jury and (b) the mandatory sentence of life imprisonment for murder with the Basic Law and the Bill of Rights. We dismissed those grounds of appeal, but at least one member of the court had some reservations about the particular terms of the judge's directions to the jury. Those reservations were notified to the parties, and we have heard argument on them.
