Editorial Introduction

23/0/2 The court has a discretionary power, at any stage of the proceedings, to order a person in the

position of plaintiff to give security for his opponent’s costs. But the discretion is not at large. There are two principal sources of law, O.23 and the Companies Ordinance, s.357. (Note also O.59, r.10(5) (security for costs on appeal) and Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal Ordinance (Cap. 484), s.25(1)(a).) Rule 1(1) states that if, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, the court thinks it just to do, it may order security for costs in any one of four situations. The first mentioned (and, from a practical point of view, the most important) is that the plaintiff is ordinarily resident out of the jurisdiction (r.1(1)(a)). Section 357 of the Companies Ordinance gives the court power to order security where there is reason to believe that a plaintiff limited company may be unable to pay the defendant’s costs in the event of his being successful in the action (see paras 23/3/14 et seq.). Following the introduction of the Civil Justice Reform, the Court will engage in active case management in order to further the underlying objectives. As part of the new regime, parties must consider carefully whether to initiate a particular interlocutory application as the Court may take into account the parties’ conduct in exercising its discretion as to costs. Accordingly, any such application, including an application for security for costs under this Order, which the Court considers ought not to have been made could carry immediate and significant costs consequences for the party making the application. The bulk of the notes in this Order relate to r.1(1)(a) and to s.357 of the Companies Ordinance (see para.23/3/14). For information on r.1(1)(b) (nominal plaintiff), see para.23/3/9, on r.1(1)(c) (misdescription of plaintiff ’s residence), see para.23/3/11, and on r.1(1)(d) (change of plaintiff ’s address) see para.23/3/12.

1. IntroduCtIon General matters. The law of carriage of goods by sea is a complex web of 4 – 001 legal concepts of which contract is just one. Whilst the present work deals with the law of contract it is impossible to avoid some references to the law on bailment and tort than might otherwise be the case in other chapters. The carriage of goods by sea covers everything from the loading of cargo on board the ship, its carriage, care during carriage to its discharge and delivery at the destination port. This somewhat simplistic overview conceals a complex array of parties and obligations which operate throughout the process, either continuously or at certain distinct stages. The nature of these obligations can be classified into distinct concepts. Foremost amongst these will naturally be contractual carriage although this in turn covers a wide variety of types of arrangements and obligations. In essence, however, the most common practice is for a party to enter into an agreement with the owner of a ship for the carriage of certain goods from one place to another. To the extent that a person consigns goods to the care of a third party, the law of carriage of goods by sea is a branch of the law of bailment and the current case law reflects the continuing importance of this legal concept. Whilst less relevant nowadays, the ancient obligations of carriers may still be relevant even though the nature of the obligations is not in itself contractual. Finally, as has been highlighted above, it is not possible entirely to divorce the contractual law of carriage of goods by sea from tort. Certain remedies may be available to a party which may or may not enable them to bypass particularly unhelpful clauses in the contract of carriage. [305]

Hong Kong Civil Procedure 2013 Edition

NEW

Editor-In-Chief: The Hon. Mr. Justice Chan PJ; General Editor: Mr. Martin Rogers

MAJOR WORKS

The 2013 service continues to bring confidence and authority in the courtroom, keeping you up-to-date through four volumes, one special release, and four e-newsletters.

The sheer volume of activity in the Hong Kong courts year-on-year continues to grow at an exceptional pace. The expectation of the courts that any practitioner appearing before them be up-to-date on new developments remains undiminished. CJR IN THE HIGHER COURTS In the three years since Civil Justice Reform has come into force, a large volume of civil procedure cases have now reached the appellate courts. In the Wing Fai case – a decision that is being read all over the world, the Court of Final Appeal recently pronounced on dismissal against want of prosecution and Civil Justice Reform. ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION Developments to alternative dispute resolution continue to gather pace. The development of modern commercial mediation has been covered in the April 2012 Special Release.

16

The impact of these developments and cases, and the precedential certainty that they create, add to the authority and weight of the 2013 Edition of the Hong Kong White Book. It is the book of the Hong Kong courts – written and reviewed by many esteemed judges and legal practitioners – giving you the weight of authority when referring to it in court. Sweet & Maxwell 2013 Edition Nov 2012 HK$8,400

9789626614822

Hardback


The past twelve months has seen a significant rise in the number of reported civil procedure cases. Civil Justice Reform has come under appellate scrutiny in areas such as costs, striking out, and interlocutory appeals; the lower courts have

explored the boundaries of the Reform; and there have been decisions in areas such as discovery, jurisdiction, extensions, pleadings, injunctions and enforcement. There have been cases in evolving areas such as anonymity orders. There is some talk about another round of reform. All of this highlights the level of activity, the importance of keeping up-to-date, and the role of the Hong Kong White Book as the bible of the civil courts. ADR is now an essential part of litigation. The Mediation Ordinance comes into force in 2013 and mediation is already seen as virtually compulsory. The new Arbitration Ordinance has been in force for over a year and the courts have repeatedly emphasized the integrity of the arbitral process - it is only in limited circumstances that they will refuse to enforce an arbitral award. Recognising the changing landscape, for the first time, the HKWB Service will have a volume dedicated to ADR.

Contract Law in China Second Edition Professor Bing Ling

Professor Will Wei Shen

Corporate law in China: Norms, Structure and Operation provides a comprehensive and critical study of China’s corporate law regime and the newly revised PRC Company law. This title also consists of an in-depth analysis of the two types of corporations: Limited liability companies and joint stock companies. The structure of China’s corporate law is examined by the author and our book also discusses the broader context of recent developments in the field of the corporate law in China. With the author’s comparative insights into corporate law and their knowledge in the Chinese legal development, this is a “must-have” guide for practitioners, regulators, academics, students, business professionals, and especially foreign investors who are engaged or interested in understanding Chinese corporate law.

The second edition of Contract Law in China offers readers an in-depth analysis of the 1999 law and the related judicial interpretations. With tremendous developments that have occurred in this area of law, the adoption of the PRC Contract Law in 1999 is contrasted with the pre1999 law and practices as well as equivalent laws in civil and common law jurisdictions. The new edition of Contract Law in China provides a comprehensive and critical study of the law of contract in China to readers. As the author discusses the demands of China’s burgeoning economy and the integration of this market into the international trading system, he also considers the international significance of these reforms.

This title emphasizes and focuses on the significant anti-corruption practices and legislation in: (i) Hong Kong; (ii) Mainland China; (iii) Taiwan; (iv) Korea; (v) India as well as growing economic countries such as Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Corruption and corporate compliance are both a key business risk for companies around the world. This is driven by a number of factors including the introduction of the Bribery Act in the UK and the increased activity in the US by US enforcement agencies under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) to stem the tide of “dirty” business tactics in the Asia region. Local authorities in Asia are now also taking steps to address these challenges. Asia is now one of the largest regional markets in the world and continues to be of significant influence in the ever-growing global economy. The increase of globalization and trade coupled with heightened regulatory activity means that all businesses in the Asia region must take a more proactive approach to ensure they meet the statutory obligations of their respective jurisdictions. This publication provides In-House Counsel as well as Practitioners and Regulators with practical guidance to understand and ensure these regulations and practices are met and complied with.

A practical ‘survival kit’ plus much more

Contract law in Hong Kong has become substantially localised in recent years. There have been many important local cases, including seminal judgments in key areas such as undue influence. Hong Kong’s legislation has unique aspects, such as the Unconscionable Contracts Ordinance. What’s more, the application of contract law has to be understood in the context of a Hong Kong setting. Contract Law in Hong Kong is therefore a very welcome and timely publication. Written by an expert, Mr Lee Mason, it is comprehensive in scope, emphasises the large body of local law, and is written in a clear style that “demystifies” intricate areas of law.


Criminal Litigation in Hong Kong – a popular text that is now in its third edition – is all about knowhow and pragmatism. It covers criminal litigation from a uniquely practical perspective: it starts with how to receive instructions from clients and takes you through the entire litigation process. A publication that is particularly useful for junior practitioners, each chapter contains sample documents to use, tricks of the trade, and detailed checklists. Importantly, as the book is guided by the principle that the first rule of practice is to protect yourself at all times, it focuses on pitfalls to avoid.

The Hong Kong Competition Ordinance: Commentary and Annotations Thomas Cheng

NEW

This title examines the Competition Ordinance and aims to answer all the questions and controversies accompanying the enactment of this important Ordinance. Continuing with Sweet & Maxwell’s tradition of being the most up-todate provider of legal information, the Hong Kong Commentary and Annotations Library examines the ‘new’ Competition Ordinance and aims to answer all the questions and controversies accompanying the enactment of this all too important Ordinance. After years of consultation and debate, and in the face of continuing opposition from many business sector representatives, Hong Kong finally passed the Competition bill this past July 2012. Though somewhat watered down from the version originally conceived by the Administration in Hong Kong, the competition law is a significant piece of legislation that has the potential to impact the day-to-day trading activities and strategic commercial decision making of nearly all businesses in Hong Kong - big or small. Making price-related decisions, involvement in contractual negotiations, structuring of joint ventures, participation in trade associations, communicating with competitors, and imposing of exclusivity obligations on trading partners are just a few of the responsibilities that many business staff have on a daily basis and which may be regulated by the new law.

The new competition law opens the way for investigations into suspect fuel prices and promo programs being offered to the consumers, and if such practices are deemed to be anticompetitive, charges will be levied and companies would be taken to court. The goal of the new law is to ban such anti-competitive practices such as price-fixing and bid-rigging to help small-businesses and mid-level enterprises. Business representatives, Practitioners, In-House Counsel and all legal teams should therefore ensure they comprehend the broad scope of the law, how it may affect their business, and the steps that can be taken to ensure compliance. With significant penalties able to be levied for infringements of the law, the importance of risk management in this area cannot be understated. This publication’s aim is to be that reference guide to all these important aforementioned issues. Sweet & Maxwell Dec 2013 TBC

The hong kong Property Ordinances: Commentary and Annotations Christine Yu

• Examines the laws on Housing Policy which guide the Hong Kong Government as well as the private sector of real estate developers who play an important role in meeting the housing needs of the community

Real estate has traditionally been important in the economic life of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong stock market has been heavily dependent upon property development companies. With all the news about the continuing rising costs of property preventing Hong Kong Citizens from affording a home, this publication publishes at the ideal time.

Hong Kong’s Housing Policy is currently formulated, co-ordinated and monitored by the Secretary for Transport and Housing. The Housing Department supports the Transport and Housing Bureau in dealing with all housing-related policies and matters. The Government’s housing policy is premised on three major guiding principles: (i) First, the thrust of the Government’s subsidised housing policy is to assist low income families who cannot afford private rental housing through the provision of public rental housing; (ii) Second, the Government’s role should primarily focus on land supply; and (iii) Third, the Government should maintain a fair and stable operating environment to enable the sustained and healthy development of the private property

The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Ordinance: Commentary and Annotations is a concise reference work detailing section by section analysis of the complex rules and concepts that are contained in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap 571). The Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap 571) came into operation on 1st April 2003, and has been assisting industries and protecting investors ever since. With the co-operation of all market participants, this ordinance firmly reinforces Hong Kong’s position as an international finance centre. Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap 571) is indeed Hong Kong’s landmark legislation that fully consolidated and revised all the pre-existing legislation regulating the securities, futures and leveraged foreign exchange contracts, intermediaries and markets in Hong Kong into one concise legal document. Sweet & Maxwell again continues its tradition of being the most up-to-date provider of legal information. The Hong Kong Commentary and Annotations Library examines and provides relevant commentary on every section of the Ordinance including the recent updates and amendments made to Sections 18, 102, 103, 104A, 106, 107, 108, 11, 182, 213, 379, 407, Schedule 1, Schedule 5, Schedule 8, and Schedule 10. Our aim here is to once again answer all the questions and shed light to all these amendments and revisions made to these sections of this Ordinance. This publication continues the format where the exact text of each section of the Ordinance is reproduced and is then immediately followed by the detailed legislative history, analysis, explanations, and commentaries on the legal significance of that particular section. This Ordinance is what guides the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong in overseeing and regulating the securities and futures markets in Hong Kong. The SFC is responsible for fostering an orderly securities and futures market, to protect investors and to help promote Hong Kong as an international

Levels of home ownership are high but there is still a very active private rental market and even more active commercial rental market. Confidence and the performance of the Hong Kong economy generally are reflected strongly in the property market. With the continuing rising costs of home ownership here in Hong Kong, Property speculators, Real Estate Practitioners, as well as In-House Counsel must be aware and conscious of all the relevant property laws in Hong Kong.

The Government is committed in using the authority granted to them in the Property Ordinances to enhancing the transparency of property and transaction information on the sales of first-hand private residential properties. In the past few years, the Transport and Housing Bureau has implemented through Lands Department’s Consent Scheme and the guidelines of the Real Estate Developers Association of Hong Kong to enhance the transparency of the price lists, sales brochures, show flats and transaction information. Our publication examines these laws enacted to strengthen the Government’s resolve to make private home ownership more accessible to all members of the Hong Kong community.

the hong kong Anti-Money Laundering and CounterTerrorist Financing (Financial Institutions) Ordinance: Commentary and Annotations Sydney Yankson

NEW

Our Hong Kong Commentary and Annotations Library continues our legal analysis of the most influential laws enacted in Hong Kong with this publication on the “new” Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing (Financial Institutions) Ordinance (Cap 615). This legislation seeks to improve Hong Kong’s antimoney laundering (AML) regime by better alignment of the financial sector with prevailing international standards has just come into operation this past 1 April 2012. The new Ordinance provides a uniform set of requirements applicable to all financial institutions in the banking, securities, insurance and remittance and money changing sectors. In addition, the four relevant authorities (MA, SFC, IA and the Customs and Excise Department), in consultation with the Financial Services and Treasury Bureau, jointly drafted a set of guidelines applicable to all these aforementioned financial institutions. The individual relevant authorities also added supplementary or sector specific guidance that is necessary or appropriate for their respective sectors.

It also brings in a new licensing regime for money exchangers and remittance firms. They will need to apply for a license from the Customs and Exercise Department, which will undertake surveillance and punish non-compliance. More rigorous checks will now have to be made by Hong Kong based banks, brokers, insurance companies and money exchangers, with criminal sanctions for non-compliance. The most significant change under the new law; any failure to maintain appropriate customer due diligence has become a criminal matter, which is in line with global norms. With these significant penalties now able to be levied for any infringement of this law, the importance of risk management in this area cannot be understated. This publication’s aim is to be that reference guide to all these important aforementioned issues. Sweet & Maxwell Oct 2013 TBC

Previous to the enactment of the Ordinance, banks, brokers and insurance companies all had different guidelines, provided by their own industry regulators, to prevent money laundering. These standards were varied and most importantly, noncompliance will not trigger through punishment. In addition, about 2,700 money exchangers and remittance firms in Hong Kong are registered with the police, but the force does not perform anti-money- laundering surveillance. This has now all changed with the enactment of the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing (Financial Institutions) Ordinance (Cap 615). The new Ordinance plugs these loopholes because it imposes a single set of requirements on all financial firms. They must perform more due diligence on a customer’s background, keep records and have procedures to make sure staff report suspicious cases to the police.

The commentary and annotations define all key terms of the new Ordinance as well as examining and explaining key precedents, such as the ramifications of an “agreement to mediate,” pursuant to whether the mediation will be wholly or partly conducted in Hong Kong or if the agreement to mediate provides that Hong Kong Law is to apply and which will be irrespective of whether the agreement to mediate or even if the mediation itself took place and predates the coming into force of this ordinance.

The Mediation Ordinance was passed rather quickly and easily by Legco this past 1 July 2012. This reflects the fact that the Mediation Ordinance is not controversial and that all stakeholders in Hong Kong are keen and anxious to further Hong Kong’s status as a ‘leading dispute resolution centre.’ To continue this mantra, the Mediation Ordinance was quickly passed with the enthusiastic support of all members of Legco.

Parties that do not resort to mediation may face adverse cost consequences. Even where the mediation is not successful it is likely to have the positive effect of reducing the conflict and the issues between the parties.

The hong kong Securities and Futures Ordinance: Commentary and Annotations General Editor: Laurence Li

NEW

The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Ordinance: Commentary and Annotations is a concise reference work detailing section by section analysis of the complex rules and concepts that are contained in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap 571). The Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap 571) came into operation on 1st April 2003, and has been assisting industries and protecting investors ever since. With the co-operation of all market participants, this ordinance firmly reinforces Hong Kong’s position as an international finance centre. Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap 571) is indeed Hong Kong’s landmark legislation that fully consolidated and revised all the pre-existing legislation regulating the securities, futures and leveraged foreign exchange contracts, intermediaries and markets in Hong Kong into one concise legal document. Sweet & Maxwell again continues its tradition of being the most up-to-date provider of legal information. The Hong Kong Commentary and Annotations Library examines and provides relevant commentary on every section of the Ordinance including the recent updates and amendments made to Sections 18, 102, 103, 104A, 106, 107, 108, 11, 182, 213, 379, 407, Schedule 1, Schedule 5, Schedule 8, and Schedule 10. Our aim here is to once again answer all the questions and shed light to all these amendments and revisions made to these sections of this Ordinance.

78

This publication continues the format where the exact text of each section of the Ordinance is reproduced and is then immediately followed by the detailed legislative history, analysis, explanations, and commentaries on the legal significance of that particular section. This Ordinance is what guides the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong in overseeing and regulating the securities and futures markets in Hong Kong. The SFC is responsible for fostering an orderly securities and futures market, to protect investors and to help promote Hong Kong as an international financial centre and a key financial market in China. In this regard, the SFC was created and authorised in accordance to all relevant powers endowed to it under the Ordinance. Accordingly, this publication in addition to providing annotations and commentary on all sections of the Ordinance, also examines the following topics: • Setting and enforcing market regulations • Licensing and supervising market participants such as brokers, investment advisers and fund managers • Supervising market operators including exchanges, automated trading services and clearing houses • Authorising offering documents of investment products to be offered to the public • Overseeing corporate activities of listed companies under the Codes on Takeovers and Mergers and Share Repurchases

This publication will be the ultimate guide to the laws and legislation related to Hong Kong’s all important securities, futures, and money markets. Sweet & Maxwell Nov 2013 TBC

The hong kong Competition Ordinance: Commentary and Annotations Thomas Cheng

NEW

This title examines the Competition Ordinance and aims to answer all the questions and controversies accompanying the enactment of this important Ordinance. Continuing with Sweet & Maxwell’s tradition of being the most up-todate provider of legal information, the Hong Kong Commentary and Annotations Library examines the ‘new’ Competition Ordinance and aims to answer all the questions and controversies accompanying the enactment of this all too important Ordinance.

Competition Law

After years of consultation and debate, and in the face of continuing opposition from many business sector representatives, Hong Kong finally passed the Competition bill this past July 2012. Though somewhat watered down from the version originally conceived by the Administration in Hong Kong, the competition law is a significant piece of legislation that has the potential to impact the day-to-day trading activities and strategic commercial decision making of nearly all businesses in Hong Kong - big or small. Making price-related decisions, involvement in contractual negotiations, structuring of joint ventures, participation in trade associations, communicating with competitors, and imposing of exclusivity obligations on trading partners are just a few of the responsibilities that many business staff have on a daily basis and which may be regulated by the new law.

110

The new competition law opens the way for investigations into suspect fuel prices and promo programs being offered to the consumers, and if such practices are deemed to be anticompetitive, charges will be levied and companies would be taken to court. The goal of the new law is to ban such anti-competitive practices such as price-fixing and bid-rigging to help small-businesses and mid-level enterprises. Business representatives, Practitioners, In-House Counsel and all legal teams should therefore ensure they comprehend the broad scope of the law, how it may affect their business, and the steps that can be taken to ensure compliance. With significant penalties able to be levied for infringements of the law, the importance of risk management in this area cannot be understated. This publication’s aim is to be that reference guide to all these important aforementioned issues.

The hong kong Anti-Money Laundering and CounterTerrorist Financing (Financial Institutions) Ordinance: Commentary and Annotations Sydney Yankson

NEW

Our Hong Kong Commentary and Annotations Library continues our legal analysis of the most influential laws enacted in Hong Kong with this publication on the “new” Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing (Financial Institutions) Ordinance (Cap 615). This legislation seeks to improve Hong Kong’s antimoney laundering (AML) regime by better alignment of the financial sector with prevailing international standards has just come into operation this past 1 April 2012. The new Ordinance provides a uniform set of requirements applicable to all financial institutions in the banking, securities, insurance and remittance and money changing sectors. In addition, the four relevant authorities (MA, SFC, IA and the Customs and Excise Department), in consultation with the Financial Services and Treasury Bureau, jointly drafted a set of guidelines applicable to all these aforementioned financial institutions. The individual relevant authorities also added supplementary or sector specific guidance that is necessary or appropriate for their respective sectors. Previous to the enactment of the Ordinance, banks, brokers and insurance companies all had different guidelines, provided by their own industry regulators, to prevent money laundering. These standards were varied and most importantly, noncompliance will not trigger through punishment. In addition, about 2,700

118

money exchangers and remittance firms in Hong Kong are registered with the police, but the force does not perform anti-money- laundering surveillance. This has now all changed with the enactment of the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing (Financial Institutions) Ordinance (Cap 615). The new Ordinance plugs these loopholes because it imposes a single set of requirements on all financial firms. They must perform more due diligence on a customer’s background, keep records and have procedures to make sure staff report suspicious cases to the police. It also brings in a new licensing regime for money exchangers and remittance firms. They will need to apply for a license from the Customs and Exercise Department, which will undertake surveillance and punish non-compliance. More rigorous checks will now have to be made by Hong Kong based banks, brokers, insurance companies and money exchangers, with criminal sanctions for non-compliance. The most significant change under the new law; any failure to maintain appropriate customer due diligence has become a criminal matter, which is in line with global norms. With these significant penalties now able to be levied for any infringement of this law, the importance of risk management in this area cannot be understated. This publication’s aim is to be that reference guide to all these important aforementioned issues.

9789626615423

Herbert Smith

Corruption and corporate compliance are both a key business risk for companies around the world. This is driven by a number of factors including the introduction of the Bribery Act in the UK and the increased activity in the US by US enforcement agencies under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) to stem the tide of “dirty” business tactics in the Asia region. Local authorities in Asia are now also taking steps to address these challenges. Asia is now one of the largest regional markets in the world and continues to be of significant influence in the ever-growing global economy. The increase of globalization and trade coupled with heightened regulatory activity means that all businesses in the Asia region must take a more proactive approach to ensure they meet the statutory obligations of their respective jurisdictions. This publication provides In-House Counsel as well as Practitioners and Regulators with practical guidance to understand and ensure these regulations and practices are met and complied with.

Trusts and Equity

The hong kong Property Ordinances: Commentary and Annotations Christine Yu

NEW

• Examines the laws on Housing Policy which guide the Hong Kong Government as well as the private sector of real estate developers who play an important role in meeting the housing needs of the community

Trusts and Equity

• Examines the laws enacted to strengthen the Government’s resolve to make private home ownership more accessible to all members of the Hong Kong community Real estate has traditionally been important in the economic life of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong stock market has been heavily dependent upon property development companies. With all the news about the continuing rising costs of property preventing Hong Kong Citizens from affording a home, this publication publishes at the ideal time. Levels of home ownership are high but there is still a very active private rental market and even more active commercial rental market. Confidence and the performance of the Hong Kong economy generally are reflected strongly in the property market. With the continuing rising costs of home ownership here in Hong Kong, Property speculators, Real Estate Practitioners, as well as In-House Counsel must be aware and conscious of all the relevant property laws in Hong Kong. Hong Kong’s Housing Policy is currently formulated, co-ordinated and monitored by the Secretary for Transport and Housing. The Housing

180

Department supports the Transport and Housing Bureau in dealing with all housing-related policies and matters. The Government’s housing policy is premised on three major guiding principles: (i) First, the thrust of the Government’s subsidised housing policy is to assist low income families who cannot afford private rental housing through the provision of public rental housing; (ii) Second, the Government’s role should primarily focus on land supply; and (iii) Third, the Government should maintain a fair and stable operating environment to enable the sustained and healthy development of the private property market. The Government needs to ensure adequate supply of land together with the necessary supporting infrastructure to meet market demand.

Lewin on Trusts Nineteenth Edition Lynton Tucker; Nicholas Le Poidevin, QC; James Brightwell

• A key mainwork of the private client list and is frequently cited in court • Provides the practitioner with the definitive guide to trust law and practice • Covers the definition, classification and creation of trusts, trustees, beneficiaries, administration, breach of trust and remedies, and variation of trusts Sweet & Maxwell UK Sep 2013 HK$4,440

The Government is committed in using the authority granted to them in the Property Ordinances to enhancing the transparency of property and transaction information on the sales of first-hand private residential properties. In the past few years, the Transport and Housing Bureau has implemented through Lands Department’s Consent Scheme and the guidelines of the Real Estate Developers Association of Hong Kong to enhance the transparency of the price lists, sales brochures, show flats and transaction information. Our publication examines these laws enacted to strengthen the Government’s resolve to make private home ownership more accessible to all members of the Hong Kong community.
