Irish Solicitor
Appears Before
Privy Council
It must be unique that an Irish practising solicitor
represents a party to an appeal before the Judicial
Committee of the Privy Council. Max Abrahamson, the
Dublin Solicitor (assisted by Michael O'Reilly,
Solicitor) has just had that experience. Max acted for
the Appellant in a case called
Mitsui
Construction
Company Limited
-v-
The Attorney General of Hong
Kong
which was an appeal from a decision of the
Supreme Court of Hong Kong. The case concerned the
interpretation of a contract for the construction of a
pipeline between Hong Kong and mainland China. The
judgment of Privy Council was delivered on the 10th of
February, 1986, and was found in favour of the
Appellant. This particular case started as an arbitration
heard in London and then proceeded on points of law
through the Hong Kong High Court and the Hong Kong
Supreme Court of the Privy Council. Max Abrahamson
is the author of "
Engineering Law and the I.C.E.
Contracts".
An interesting tailpiece. The Q.C. instructed by Max
for the Privy Council appeal was Sydney Kentridge,
now the central character in a London play (and T.V.
documentary) as a result of his representing the next of
kin at the South African inquest on the death of Steve
Biko.
