This year's appointments of Justices of the Peace (JPs) will be published in the Government Gazette today (July 1). This is the third JP appointment exercise since the reunification.
A total of 61 persons will be appointed as JPs, including 34 JPs appointed under section 3(1)(b) of the Justices of the Peace Ordinance (commonly referred to as "Non-official JPs") and 27 JPs appointed under section 3(1)(a) of the same ordinance (commonly referred to as "Official JPs"). A few other appointments of JPs may also be made later.
The main function of JPs is to visit prisons, detention centres and other institutions in order to ensure that no individual is unfairly treated or deprived of his or her rights. JPs are also required to perform other duties as directed by the Chief Executive, such as carrying out ad hoc inquiries.
