Details

Hong Kong White Book 2021 is Hong Kong’s most trusted court companion. When there are countless decisions to be made, opponents to handle, clients to manage and a myriad of courses you could follow, Hong Kong White Book 2021 is the source you can trust.

Authored by a talented pool of over 95 specialist practitioners, Hong Kong White Book 2021 continues to provide the most comprehensive coverage of matters relevant to civil procedure.

Key Highlights to the 2021 edition include:

Order 11
• The anti-suit injunction section of O.11 has been rewritten.

Order 24
• The court has made clear that Norwich Pharmacal applications must be made by way of originating summons
• The court will not make an order for production of a document that is not in existence
• The court has inherent jurisdiction to order specific discovery at any time (either before or after the commencement of proceedings) as an alternative to an application under s.41 of the High Court Ordinance or O.24 r.7A(1)
• Third-party disclosure under s.42 of the High Court Ordinance and O.24 r.7A(2) must be made by a party to existing proceedings but if the party can obtain the document without a court order, the court will refuse the discovery application
• The court will not make a discovery order if the litigant is able to obtain copies of those requested documents from a third party without a court order, and there is no evidence that such requests would have been refused by such third party (Jowers v Kinney [2019] HKCFI 2791, [2019] 5 H.K.L.R.D. 686, CFI)

Order 67
• The decision in Tang Siu Nam v Tang Chi Man [2019] 4 HKLRD 312 is discussed where the court highlighted the better use of O.67 r.5(1) particularly at a time when there is a downturn in the economy and therefore intervention and/or cessation of law firms may, sadly, be a more frequent occurrence.

Volume 3 Arbitration and ADR
The Arbitration and ADR volume of the White Book 2021 represents a comprehensive review of new case law that has emerged since the last edition, with important and concise updates on a number of significant developments, including incorporation of arbitration agreements by reference, anti-suit injunctions against third parties, staying arbitral proceedings in favour of winding-up proceedings, security for setting aside and serious irregularity challenges including remission of the award. In light of the new developments, the section on Article 8 regarding stays has been restructured.

Commentaries reflecting the latest developments under the Mediation Ordinance (Cap.620) are also included. The commentary on third party funding has been reviewed for easier reading and contains updates on relevant English case law for reference.
