Without mentioning separation of powers, Andrew Cheung refers to judicial independence seven times on taking office as Chief Justice; says courts interpret National Security Law according to established principles
終審法院新任首席法官張舉能履新致辭時，七度提及「司法獨立」，但未提過往曾在判辭提及的「三權分立」，解釋因此詞語過於政治化，不宜評論。他說司法獨立是指法官不應受外界不當影響，又回應《港區國安法》對法治影響，表示香港法庭會按一貫原則詮釋國安法；對於被告可送內地審訊，他以不評論條文為由無回應。
In his inaugural speech as the new Chief Justice of the Court of Final Appeal, Andrew Cheung Kui-nung referred to “judicial independence” seven times but did not mention “separation of powers”, which he had previously referred to in judgments. He explained that the term had become overly politicised and that it was inappropriate to comment on it. He said judicial independence meant that judges should not be subject to improper external influence. Responding on the impact of the National Security Law on the rule of law, he said Hong Kong courts would interpret the law according to established principles. He declined to respond to whether defendants could be sent to the mainland for trial, saying he would not comment on the provisions.
