Section 10(1) of the Transfer of Sentenced Persons Ordinance is a lawful deeming provision that properly covers prisoners transferred under the Anglo‑Thai arrangements and is constitutional both pre‑ and post‑handover because Article 153 of the Basic Law permits continued implementation of international agreements not party to the PRC; therefore the appellants' detention is lawful and the appeal is dismissed.
