In-depth coverage and definitive guidance on the Law of Injunctions in Hong Kong

Law of Injunctions in Hong Kong provides in-depth coverage and definitive guidance on the subject of both interlocutory and final injunctions. It explains how and when to obtain, how to defend against injunction orders and any other ancillary options available. It includes precedents and forms, relevant rules and practice directions and selected statutory material.

What's new in this edition
This new edition provides a comprehensive update to the case law and legislative changes in this area of law. In particular there is an emphasis on; Interlocutory injunctions, namely cases in light of:

Increasing interest of Mainland-related parties to litigate in Hong Kong Courts (developments arising from Re China Shanshui Investment Ltd, 2016);
Diversification of the type of injunctions, notably an increase in interlocutory proprietary injunctions
(Tiger Resort Asia Ltd v Kazuo Okada & others, 2019); and
Courts’ consideration of ancillary orders against third parties (often banks) as a result of fraud cases or proprietary injunctions (Seridom Servicios Integrados Idom SAU v Hen Wen Trade Co Ltd, 2019);
Perpetual or final injunctions continue to be topical as disputes over property-related cases continue to appear; these cases often involve:

New Territories land (i.e. right of way and encroachment); and
Multi-storey building management (i.e. drainage rights, unauthorized works, delivery of chattels or documents).
