Details

The practical companion to The Hong Kong White Book
Since its first edition in 1993, Civil Litigation in Hong Kong has proved to be an unparalleled practical guide to the rules of civil procedure in Hong Kong.

A step-by-step practical guide
Its checklists, diagrams, and sample documents have been a valuable source of knowledge for trainee solicitors and practitioners who conduct civil litigation. Now available in DUO, which includes a ProView eBook version for you to personalise your copy.

Completely up-to-date with new content covering numerous changes to the dispute resolution
Since the previous edition, a wealth of case law has now fleshed out the new rules and this fifth edition puts meat on those bones by instructing readers based on almost a decade of post-CJR practical experience. This edition covers:
• Updated and improved sections on sanctioned offers and sanctioned payments, mediation and settlement
• Major changes in the arbitration regime — increasingly popular as a method of alternative dispute resolution.
