Details

“…the pre-eminent manual on the practice and procedure of the District Court’s civil jurisdiction…” from the Foreword by His Honour Judge Carlson

This companion work to Hong Kong Civil Court Practice: Desk Edition is an indispensable reference for all those whose practice involves litigation in the Hong Kong District Court, the importance of which continues to increase with the expansion of its jurisdiction. This publication brings together the complete text of the District Court Ordinance (Cap 336), the Rules of the District Court and the other rules made under the Ordinance, and Practice Directions relevant to the District Court. Primary instruments are augmented with extensive expert commentary. A flowchart of an action begun by writ in the District Court is also provided.

Commentaries include section-by-section annotations dealing with the meaning and application of the statutory provisions, drawing on case law from Hong Kong, England and the Commonwealth and highlighting corresponding sections in the High Court Ordinance (Cap 4) and equivalent English legislation, as well as referring the reader to the relevant rules and forms. A thoroughly researched history of the District Court is also presented, outlining the essential elements of the primary and subsidiary legislation governing the Court and the legal context in which the Court is set as part of the judicial system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

This title sets out in one comprehensive volume all the information likely to be needed for civil and criminal practice in the District Court. It will be an invaluable tool for legal practitioners, litigants in person, academics, students and others who need to know about the District Court of Hong Kong.
