Details
Hong Kong Cases has quickly established itself as the premier, most up-to-date bilingual law reporting service in Hong Kong, with expert and comprehensive selections of the most significant decisions of, and appeals from, the courts of Hong Kong.

The series comprises of 129 volumes covering the period 1842 – 1941 and 1946-2015, being the only report series in Hong Kong to bring you judgments from 1842 to the present. With most decisions in the set previously unreported, this work contains a wealth of precedents previously unavailable to practitioners. The current series is published in fortnightly parts and consolidated into six bound volumes per year.

Since 1996, Hong Kong Cases highly praised catchwords appear in Chinese translation as well as English, with a Consolidated Index of Chinese catchwords appearing in each volume. Judgments handed down in Chinese are published alongside English summaries.

Features:
- Accuracy: Reporters are Hong Kong barristers, solicitors and academics
- Clarity and consistency: Headnotes have been continuously lauded for their style as they are written by practitioners, with noteworthy points highlighted.
- Comprehensive coverage: Covers all areas of Hong Kong law • Timeliness: published every two weeks
- Cross-referenced to other major works such as Halsbury’s Laws of Hong Kong, The Annotated Ordinances of Hong Kong, Hong Kong looseleaf commentary works and textbooks
