Abstract
This article examines key elements of the legal control of the Hong Kong civil service before and after 1 July 1997. It focuses on the employment of civil servants with reference to legislative and non-legislative provisions. It argues that the present arrangements are unclear because of uncertainty over whether the relevant Executive Order - Executive Order No 1 of 1997 - and the accompanying Regulation are properly regarded as legislative or exective instruments.
