Details

In the seven years since the first edition of Building Management in Hong Kong, hundreds of building management cases have been heard in Hong Kong’s courts and tribunals. In addition, major legislative changes have been made, particularly to the Building Management Ordinance. These developments are noted, discussed and occasionally criticised by the authors in this latest edition.

As per the first edition, the chapters concentrate upon the relationships that dominate in management of buildings such as those between the manager and the owners, between the government and owners and between owner and owner.

The text contains a narrative introduction to each relationship, which is designed for laymen as well as lawyers. This is followed by coverage of practical questions, and problem areas in which selected areas of legal difficulty are explored in more detail.

The coverage of owners’ corporations and of dispute resolution has been expanded. A new chapter on meetings of owners and of management committees has also been added. This has been prompted by the large number of cases in which the validity of decisions made at such meetings has been questioned.

It is hoped that this second edition of Building Management in Hong Kong will be of use and interest to members of management and owners’ committees as well as housing and estate managers, government officials with responsibility for building management, students, lawyers and other land professionals.
