EXPATRIATE civil servants are losing patience in their battle against the Government's localisation policy and have warned that they may take legal action within two weeks.
The Association of Expatriate Civil Servants will decide whether it will take the issue to court after a meeting with the Secretary for Civil Service, Anson Chan Fang On-sang, on Friday.
Chairman Royston Griffey said the association could not wait indefinitely while the policy continued to drive its members out of the public sector.
Many others were under threat, he said.
Mr Griffey said the association wanted the Government either to change the policy, because it contravened the Bill of Rights, or to extend the contracts of overseas officers pending a review on the definition of ''local''.
''If the meeting fails, I will consider instructing our solicitors to commence proceedings, because I was given the authority by the executive council last week to start action when I think fit,'' he said.
