Rules of Postnominal Letters[edit]

After someone is appointed a Judge of the High Court or above, he or she will cease according to custom to use the postnominal letters indicating his/her rank within the Bar. Thus, no Judge of the High Court or the Court of Final Appeal use postnominals like QC or SC. Moreover, because the rank of the Justice of the Peace (JP) is technically a judicial office, judges also cease to be Justices of the Peace upon appointment. I have removed all the JPs and QC/SCs after the names of senior judges. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hker1997 (talk • contribs) 23:39, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chinese officials[edit]

Technically, and always in practice, the Chinese central government officials always enjoy precedence before HK officials on visits. Colipon+(T) 21:26, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You've made an error in putting the 2 people into 'administrative officials' as they are, in no way, have any administrative duties in Hong Kong under the 'One Country, Two Systems' principle.

You are correct that in practice, PRC President always have precedence over any other Hong Kong officials. However, the Order of Precedence created by the Hong Kong Government for official protocol purposes specifically leaves out the President as had when under British rule, the Queen was not part of the precedence.[1] --Cahk 19:21, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pre 1997[edit]

I think theres one major omission in the pre 1997 section. The Monarch is missing from the list. The C of E. God Save The Queen! (talk) 20:57, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
