Details

Endorsed by the Hong Kong Judiciary, Archbold Hong Kong 2025 is the essential reference manual on criminal law, procedure, sentencing and practice in Hong Kong.

The Honourable Mr Justice Bokhary GBM, NPJ continues as Editor-in-Chief and Professor Simon Young of the University of Hong Kong serves as General Editor. Each chapter focuses on what the law is, rather than what it ought to be, and reflects the experience and expertise of the talented pool of over 45 specialist criminal practitioners and academics.

In this new edition, recent developments in the areas include: 

  • Extensive updates to many chapters, in particular Chapter 2 (The Criminal Jurisdiction of the Courts) and Chapter 8 (Oral Testimony of Witnesses)

  • Chapter 26 (National Security) has undergone significant revisions to reflect the numerous latest developments.

  • HKSAR v Tam Tak Chi [2024] HKCA 231: The classification of an offence and the mode of trial determines where the trial should take place or, in other words, which court has the jurisdiction to try the offence

  • HKSAR v Ng Man Kam Rockman [2023] HKDC 835: In matrimonial proceedings, understating income when testifying under oath as a witness and providing false information and documents to court, which were planned, premeditated with the intention of not complying with a court order constituted perjury and perverting the course of justice

  • HKSAR v Lam Kit Wai [2023] 3 HKLRD 996: The power of the Court of Appeal to order loss of time also covers scenario where a renewed application for bail pending appeal is dismissed

Archbold Hong Kong 2025 is published in two handy volumes - Volume 1 covers criminal procedure, evidence and sentencing and Volume 2 covers the general principles of criminal liability, human rights and specific offences.
