There have not yet been any substantive cases in Hong Kong dealing with Statements of Truth. As we highlighted in [2009] 7 CJRA, however, it is important for practitioners to stay alert to useful and important decisions under equivalent provisions in other jurisdictions, in particular the UK. In this issue we consider the UK decision of KJM Superbikes Ltd v Hinton [2008] EWCA Civ 1280 in the context of statements of truth in Hong Kong, and application for leave to bring proceedings for contempt of court.

It is important for practitioners to monitor very closely decisions by the Hong Kong judiciary as to the interpretation and application of the new and amended provisions in the High Court and District Court Rules. Practitioners must also stay alert to useful and important decisions under equivalent provisions in other jurisdictions, in particular the UK. In this issue we consider the UK decision of Bray t/a The Building Company v Bishop (English unrep., 19 June 2009) in the context of sanctioned offers and payments in Hong Kong.
