In an email dated 6 October 2014 from Mr Garnaut to Mr Michael Yu (an officer of the Chief Executive’s Office) (the Email), Mr Garnaut discloses the nature and scope of the proposed article. From the questions contained in the Email, it is apparent that Mr Garnaut intends either expressly, or implicitly, to allege that our client has been involved in accepting bribes and/or secret commissions from UGL Limited, and that he has failed to make a declaration of such interest. These allegations are strenuously denied by our client, and as stated by the Chief Executive’s Office in its reply to you yesterday, it is erroneous to suggest that such a declaration is required in Hong Kong. These unfounded allegations, if published, carry defamatory imputations that will damage the reputation of our client, those imputations being that he is: 0 e!

2 i; x( `( G% d, COur Hong Kong associate lawyers have been attending the same trial on behalf of one of the defendants. They are completely conversant with the prosecution case and the evidence so far adduced by the prosecution and the defendants. Further, they have advised that the assertion contained in Mr Garnaut’s Email that the payment to Mr Leung appears to be "analogous to the transaction that has landed Rafael Hui in court, ie it is a bribe in exchange for Mr Leung’s leveraging his official connection” is totally wrong and the comparison is entirely unjustified as the facts of that case affecting Mr Rafael Hui are completely different from Mr Leung’s situation.

Consequently, if Fairfax Media Limited publishes its intended article containing any of the allegations that carry the aforesaid defamatory imputations, our client will reserve his rights to take appropriate legal action against it and Mr Garnaut personally. 7 N0 s* w( \; P% f4 V( Y公仔箱論壇tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb) ]" F }; ^" N
