1.The first line of paragraph 21 at page 8 should be “The written law which Order 49 is subject to…” instead of “The unwritten law which Order 49 is subject to...”.

2.Section 11(6) of Schedule 2 to the Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Ordinance, Cap 525 quoted in paragraph 34 at page 13 should read as follow:

“(6) In exercising those powers [under sections 7 to 10], no account shall be taken of any obligations of the defendant or of the recipient of any such gift which conflict with the obligation to satisfy the external confiscation order.”[1] (emphasis added)

3.The third line of paragraph 64 at page 25 refers.  The word “rfelease” should be “release”.
