THE POPULAR, USER FRIENDLY GUIDE TO THE MAIN PRINCIPLES OF CJR

Covers main stages of civil litigation
  • Differentiates between the current rules and old versions of rules that are still potentially relevant; and in the context of the current rules, between new/amended rules under the CJR and pre-CJR rules which remain unchanged

Completely up-to-date
  • Incorporates 2 full years of post-CJR court decisions up to May 2011
  • Includes updated judicial guidance on the interpretation and application of the many new provisions of Hong Kong’s civil litigation landscape.

Provides commentary on recent case law
  • Covers areas such as sanctioned payments/offers, expert evidence, underlying objectives and case management
 
The second edition of this popular book on civil procedure has taken account of a further full year’s worth of cases since the last edition—more than two full years of cases since the introduction of the Civil Justice Reform (CJR). The book remains as a user-friendly, simply written and laid out guide to the main principles of civil procedure in Hong Kong.
