While some in the legal sector advocated that the National People's Congress ( NPC ) should be asked to amend the part of the Basic Law to redress the problem, the HKSAR Government decided to seek an interpretation to, rather than an amendment of, the relevant Basic Law provisions from the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress ( NPCSC ).

The NPCSC issued an interpretation in favour of the Hong Kong Government in June 1999, thereby overturning parts of the court decision.

The NPCSC interpretation and decision were regarded as obstacles to the democratic development of Hong Kong by the democratic camp, and were criticised for lack of consultation with Hong Kong residents.

In contrast to other countries in which stare decisis gives the power of both final interpretation and adjudication to a supreme court, within the People's Republic of China constitutional and legal interpretation is considered to be a legislative activity rather than a judicial one, and the functions are split so that the NPCSC provides legal interpretations while the Supreme People's Court and the Courts of Final Appeal of Hong Kong and Macau actually decide cases.

Because an interpretation of the NPCSC is legislative in nature and not judicial, it does not affect cases which have already been decided.

Based on the above, the Hong Kong Government sought interpretation of, rather than amendment to, the Basic Law from the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress ( NPCSC ).

The power of interpretation of the Basic Law by the NPCSC is explicitly provided under Article 158 ( 1 ) of the Basic Law.

Commentators have widely commented that this is in contravention of Article 158 which stipulates the body that should seek an interpretation from the NPCSC is the Court of Final Appeal.

Others have argued that regardless of the merits of the case, it was politically unwise for those worried about Hong Kong legal autonomy to use this as a test case to assert Hong Kong's judicial independence, since it is the general consensus that the Hong Kong public tended to support the position of the SAR government as well as the legal interpretation of the NPCSC.

The power of interpretation of the Basic Law is vested in the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China ( NPCSC ) by virtue of Article 158 of the Basic Law.

Although this arrangement has attracted criticism of " undermining judicial independence ", an interpretation by the NPCSC does not affect any court judgments already rendered.
