1. What the plaintiffs challenge are those provisions in the Legislative Council (Electoral Provisions) Ordinance, Cap. 381, which relate to functional constituencies. They commenced these proceedings to seek a declaration that those provisions have been repealed by article VII(5) of the Letters Patent and section 3(2) of the Hong Kong Bill of Rights Ordinance, Cap. 383. Having lost before Mr Justice Keith in the High Court, they now appeal to this Court.
