Yang said: “I suspect that to this vast group of people [referring to the grassroots in Hong Kong] our law is still an alien thing imported from a country they know hardly anything about, written in a language they do not understand, expressing concepts they probably find outlandish and perhaps even immoral o‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‍r unjust. The transplantation of the English law on to Chinese soil has therefore only been partially successful … The final stage must be transformation – a process by which the spirit of the legal system is so intermingled with the culture and ethos of the new society that a new system emerges, still largely based on the ancestry whence it came, but evidencing a metamorphosis which has eradicated its foreignness” (cited in Lau, 130-1). Do you believe the “transformation” to which Sir T. L. Yang refers has occurred in Hong Kong? Discuss this quote with respect to Hong Kong’s present-day legal system. Lau, C. K. (1997).
