     Welcoming the above appointments today (March 28), the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Mr Christopher Hui, said, "The RRT and the RCT strengthen the appellate mechanism under the resolution regime and provide an effective safeguard to ensure that the relevant decisions made by the resolution authorities and independent valuer are reasonable and fair. We are confident that Mr Jonathan Chang Tien-yin, SC, with his expertise and extensive experience, will contribute to the effective operation of the two Tribunals. Members of the RRT and the RCT come from different professions and will provide wise counsel on the work of the two Tribunals with their expertise and diverse backgrounds."

    Mr Hui also thanked the outgoing chairperson of the RRT and the RCT, Mr Anson Wong Man-kit, SC, as well as the outgoing members of the two Tribunals.

     The RRT and the RCT are statutory tribunals established under the Financial Institutions (Resolution) Ordinance (Cap. 628) to hear appeals from persons aggrieved by the specified decisions made by the resolution authorities and independent valuer. The Monetary Authority, the Insurance Authority and the Securities and Futures Commission are the resolution authorities under the Ordinance and are vested with a range of powers to effect orderly resolution for maintaining the stability of the financial system of Hong Kong. An independent valuer decides whether any pre-resolution creditor or shareholder is eligible for a payment of compensation.
