Disciplinary and Regulatory Proceedings in Hong Kong was the first book of its kind and is a leading reference for anyone wishing to research and understand Hong Kong's law relating to disciplinary proceedings. There have been a number of important developments in disciplinary proceedings law in Hong Kong, particularly regarding the requirements for legal representation, and the role of legal advisers.
