Details

The first of its kind, leading reference available on disciplinary proceedings of Hong Kong’s law for professionals.

“I believe both practitioners and others who in one way or another are involved in disciplinary matters will find this approach practical, as will they find the content of the book illuminating and helpful. Both the author and publisher are to be congratulated for this new work.”

- The Hon Mr Justice Andrew Cheung, Chief Judge of the High Court

Disciplinary and Regulatory Proceedings in Hong Kong is divided into two parts:

Part I deals with the law in disciplinary proceedings generally. It chronicles the various stages of the proceedings, including concepts of misconduct, investigation, pre-hearing, hearing, penalty and costs, appeal and judicial reviews. There is also a chapter devoted to current issues, including advertising, conflicts of iterest and competition.
Part II deals with the various professions. These are broadly divided into the medical and para-medical professions, the legal professions, the construction professions, the accounting profession, the economic and financial professions, and other social professions or groups, all of whom make contributions to Hong Kong’s modern and civilised society.

This text is the first of its kind and will become the leading reference for practitioners, judges, jurists and those wishing to research and understand all facets of Hong Kong’s law relating to disciplinary proceedings.
