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. •
