Details

Cited with approval (First Edition) by the CFA

The CFA in First Laser Ltd v Fujian Enterprises (Holdings) Co Ltd, (unrep., FACV 6/2011, 6 July 2012), confirmed that estoppel by convention is a matter of substance in the conflict of laws, endorsing the view to that effect expressed in the first edition of this work and elsewhere.
 
Written by a highly regarded and well-known author, Mr. Graeme Johnston
 
The Conflict of Laws in Hong Kong, Second Edition is an authoritative and comprehensive guide to the body of law which governs the approach of the Hong Kong civil courts to the determination of governing law, jurisdiction and related issues in cases with a cross-border element (including mainland China and Taiwan as well as foreign countries).  The Hong Kong courts' approach was originally based on English law but has diverged significantly as a result of statutory changes, a growing body of Hong Kong case law and even a constitutional interpretation by the National People’s Congress. As a result, it can be very hard for even a specialist to work out the precise position under Hong Kong law.
 
 Completely up-to-date, reflecting all significant developments since the first edition

  • The impact of the civil justice reforms, including the new regime on injunctions in support of foreign proceedings (replacing the Leiduck rule)
