Secretary for Administration and Justice Sonia Chan Hoi Fan said last week that the government aims to submit a bill amending the Judicial Organisation Framework Law to the legislature next month, which proposes that all principal officials charged with a criminal offence will be tried by the Court of Second Instance (TSI).
Chan made the remarks while speaking to reporters at Largo do Senado on Friday on the sidelines of the opening ceremony of the “Lawyers’ Day” organised by the Macau Lawyers Association (AAM). The three-day event, which ended yesterday, provided residents with free legal advice.
The Judicial Organisation Framework Law took effect on the establishment day of the Macau Special Administrative Region (MSAR) on December 20, 1999.
