THE LAW IS DYNAMIC AND CONTINUALLY EVOLVING

The sheer volume of activity in the Hong Kong criminal courts year-on-year continues to grow at an exponential pace with an additional 200 cases and more expected to be cited and analysed in the 2014 Archbold service.

All chapters are updated and revised with the most recent legal points and precedent, such as:

Chapter 4: Trial on Indictment – “Discretionary power to stay proceedings”
Chapter 12: Privilege, Disclosure and Public Interest Immunity - “Legal professional privilege”
Chapter 15: Police Powers – “Admissibility of a confession”
Chapter 19: Human Rights – “Transsexual's right to marry – "'W’ case"
Chapter 21: Sexual Offenses – “female up-skirt photo” cases; “sexual intercourse by false pretenses”

NEW GENERAL EDITOR’S USER-FRIENDLY APPROACH

The Hon. Mr. Justice Kemal Bokhary NPJ continues as the Editor-in-Chief and Mr. Michael Blanchflower SC begins his second year as the General Editor of Archbold Hong Kong.

Mr. Blanchflower has revamped, revised, and stream-lined all the Chapters of Archbold Hong Kong and made the publication more user-friendly with all essential topics, cases, and precedents being more accessible to both the criminal law practitioners and interested readers.

HOLISTIC AND THOROUGH REVIEW AND REVISION BY AN EXPERT TEAM

An expert team of practitioners, lawyers, and academics with more contributions from the Department of Justice and the leading criminal law practicing Chambers than the previous volumes continue to create a refresher, tighter format ensuing the commentary and expert analysis are integrated with the most up-to-date information in the most useful and relevant manner.
