With the implementation of Civil Justice Reform in Hong Kong, the time has come to adopt the new civil procedure rules.
To help with some last minute preparation here is a short summary of some key information:
Extent: Civil proceedings in the High Court and District Court.
The Underlying Objectives:
- to increase the cost effectiveness of any practice and procedure to be followed in relation to civil proceedings before the court;
- to ensure that a case is dealt with as expeditiously as is reasonably practicable;
- to promote a sense of reasonable proportion and procedural economy in the conduct of proceedings;
- to ensure fairness between the parties;
- to facilitate the settlement of disputes; and
- to ensure the resources of the court are distributed fairly.
KEY SUPPORT TOOLS
Sweet & Maxwell publish a range of authoritative and comprehensive resources to assist practitioners in their own daily workflow and to ensure that they comply with the new rules. Also these publications assist legal practitioners to drive a competitive edge. Our authors and Editors are among the top echelons of legal practice in Hong Kong, and so these product provide the single most comprehensive picture of Civil Justice Reform, its implications and more importantly provide practical guidance about how to work within the new rules.
This review, by A.T.Reyes, Judge of the High Court of Hong Kong, is taken from Civil Justice Quarterly (C.J.Q. 2009, 28(1), 159-160).

Principles and Practice of Civil Procedure in Hong Kong
Civil procedure is often thought of as a dull subject. It should not be. Its potential impact is far too great.
Civil procedure concerns the body of rules and practices by which the state ensures access to its Courts for the fair and speedy resolution of disputes at a reasonable cost. That body of rules and practices also regulates how, having obtained a judgment in one’s favour, a person may enforce the judgment against a losing party.
