Article 24(3) of the Basic Law covers persons of Chinese nationality born outside Hong Kong who have been adopted by a Hong Kong permanent resident; para.1(2)(c) of the substituted Schedule 1 to the Immigration Ordinance unacceptably narrows Article 24(3) by requiring a Hong Kong adoption and therefore contravenes Article 24 and is void.
