The fourth edition of Law and Justice in Hong Kong continues to offer readers a comprehensive account of the legal system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People''s Republic of China—the only common law jurisdiction in East Asia.

Thoroughly updated and revised, featuring the latest case law, fresh scholarship, internationally significant events, and new legislation since the release of the previous edition in 2019, such as the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Improving Electoral System (Consolidated Amendments) Ordinance, both enacted amid the COVID–19 pandemic.

Written by an award-winning expert who has taught the subject for 10 consecutive years to both undergraduate and postgraduate students in two different law schools.

First published in 1890, Stroud is long established as the foremost dictionary of the English law as it has been interpreted by the courts and in statutory material. In three volumes, Stroud is a comprehensive and indispensable tool for the practitioner and a unique source for the researcher, providing quick access to exact, authoritative meanings. Stroud's Judicial Dictionary remains the starting point for research into the meaning of all words and phrases that come to be used in a legal context. Unlike Jowitt's Dictionary of English Law, which provides an authoritative definition of technical legal concepts, Stroud records how any expression that happens to occur in a legal document or be referred to for a legal purpose has been construed by the courts or defined in legislation. The First Supplement to the Eleventh Edition includes: 160 pages of updates; New material for long-standing entries such as: Activity; Appropriate; Business; Compensation; Court; Due; Dwelling; Employee; Habitual residence; Incidental; Jurisdiction; Matter; Oil; Person; Proceedings; Reckless; Suitable; Trade; Trust; and Value. New entries including: Bitcoin; Bottom-trawling; Car-cruising; Cash buyer; Dog-leg claim; Face to face; Independent tronc operator; Mohajir; Paper trade document; Quasi-partnership; Rambo; SMS Message; Salami slicing; Screwed; SLAPP claim; and Zombie knife.

Jowitt’s Dictionary of English Law is the only truly authoritative dictionary of English law, defining every legal term used, both old and new – from “abandonment”, in its many different contexts, to “zoonoses”. It provides clarity on the meaning of words, when drafting, interpreting and understanding legal materials or for any other form of legal research. Key concepts in the law of the United Kingdom keep changing and developing their meanings, and practitioners need to be sure that they are using and interpreting expressions in accordance with the latest jurisprudence. Jowitt's Dictionary of English Law remains the authoritative starting point, and is regularly cited to and by the courts for this purpose. See, for example, reference to Jowitt for the meaning of "judgment in rem" in Deutsche Bank Ag (London Branch) v Central Bank of Venezuela 2022] EWHC 2040 (Comm) or for the meaning of "retrospective legislation" in Jazztel Plc v The Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs [2022] EWCA Civ 232. Jowitt is also the starting point for research in relation to new or unfamiliar legal concepts, and the Sixth Edition fully updates readers on the wide range of new concepts introduced by legislation in the last few years, from specialist terms such as "biodiversity net gain" in the Environment Act 2021 or "no fault divorce" in the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020, to a wide range of updated terms of general importance such as burden of proof, legacy and mediation, among many others. This title is typically used in conjunction with Stroud’s Judicial Dictionary and is regularly cited to and by the courts. Provides a concise, but comprehensive and authoritative definition of every expression that forms part of the law of England and Wales Incorporates extensive additions and amendments to ensure it is absolutely up-to-date with current law Covers European terms in so far as they form part of the law of England and Wales Covers new and developing fields of law, including environmental law, housing, social security, alternative dispute resolution and more Includes explanations of historical terms, placing newer terms in context Complements – and cross-referenced to – Stroud’s Judicial Dictionary Provides an authoritative point of reference for research or for understanding any unfamiliar term or area of law New words Cyber-crime Virtual currency No-fault divorce Financial Remedies Order IP Completion Day Integrated care systems Driving disqualification orders Biodiversity Net Gain Polluter pays Pavement licence Windfall tax Old terms revised / reviewed Abortion Adverse possession Affirmative action Burden of proof Consensualism Circumstantial evidence Citizen's arrest Cyber-squatting Duxbury calculation Embry Euthanasia Ground rent Industrial action Legacy Mediation Next friend Nuisance Personal data Rape shield Sift Suicide Trust Vertical agreement
