The Original Practitioner's Reference on the Rules of the High Court

The commentary in this work reflects the first two years of Hong Kong's experience with the civil justice reforms which were implemented in April 2009. The focus is and will continue to be on decisions of the Hong Kong courts. In addition, we have included extracts from our sister publication in the UK, The Civil Court Practice, reflecting the additional ten years of experience of the courts there with the Woolf reforms which were implemented in 1999. Any material differences between Hong Kong's rules and those in England and Wales are highlighted to help readers to assess the persuasiveness of the extracted commentary.

The ensure litigators and users of the Blue Book have all the case references they need to win their case, the author has on occasion, included commentary in this work that goes further afield, referring to relevant authorities from Australia, Canada, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore and other places with common law traditions and civil procedure systems similar to Hong Kong's.

Newly updated 2011 edition includes:

Fully annotated Rules of the High Court with all recent cases
Expert, practical analysis of key and recent authorities
A single, portable volume citable in Court
Hong Kong's most economical civil procedure manual
Essential to the judiciary, practitioners, government legal officers and students

Remarks: This student edition only sold to Hong Kong university students with valid student cards.
