Civil Litigation in Hong Kong, Seventh Edition is an unparalleled practical guide to civil procedure in Hong Kong. Its commentary, checklists and sample documents are a valuable source of knowledge for law students, trainee solicitors and practitioners who conduct civil litigation.

This manual will help guide readers through the entire litigation process from the initial instructions from the client through to trial, appeals and the enforcement of judgments. First published in 1993, the seventh edition continues to give practical assistance on how to deal with a matter that is or is likely to become litigious. The content has been brought completely up-to-date on the latest changes to dispute resolution. Its checklists, diagrams, and sample documents are a valuable source of knowledge to any student who aims to learn more about civil litigation.

Civil Procedure in Hong Kong: A Guide to the Main Principles, Fourth Edition, a popular text with practitioners, has developed a reputation as being a user-friendly, simply written guide to the main principles of civil procedure.

The new edition covers important changes in relevant areas, including the recent abolition of the “as of right” route of appeal to the CFA. A few years have passed since the coming into effect of the Civil Justice Reform (CJR). The text elaborates on various points where it would be helpful for practitioners to have more of an explanation and/or a flavour of the Court’s general approach now.

The thorough commentary, informed by comparative law … makes the book an asset not only for readers involved in the application of the Ordinance in Hong Kong, but also for those involved in the interpretation and application of similar provisions in other parts of the world.
