Details

The sixth edition contains an extensive and detailed description of Hong Kong case law. There is now a voluminous amount of local case law explaining and developing conveyancing thereby requiring the conveyancing solicitor to monitor all developments. The Court of Final Appeal has considered and determined many important issues and, at least in some areas, certainty has been achieved. However, points of contention remain. One aim of this book has been to report, discuss and shed some light on those issues. A Student's Guide to Hong Kong Conveyancing is designed to satisfy students of land law and conveyancing at all stages. It is widely adopted at tertiary level and is used as the conveyancing text for the Overseas Lawyers Qualification Examination.

This is the sixth edition of this publication. The law of Hong Kong continues to develop so that there is now a comprehensive and complex body of case law.

Remarks: Student Edition is only sold to Hong Kong local university students. Please place your orde first and email a scan copy of your student card to [email protected] to prove your student identity. Please click here to buy professional edition if you are NOT student.
