The qualifying concept of 'ordinarily resident' in Schedule 1 paragraph 1 must be read in context of the Immigration Ordinance and requires lawful presence; therefore periods during which a person remains in Hong Kong without the permission required by s.7(2) are not reckonable towards the continuous seven year ordinary residence needed for Hong Kong permanent resident status, and time en ventre sa mere is not to be counted for that statutory qualification.
