This book provides a clear and authoritative exposition of Hong Kong private international law on issues of jurisdiction, choice of law, recognition and enforcement, arbitration, and inter-regional and international harmonisation. It covers questions of private international law that may arise in a wide range of areas of law, including the law of obligations, the law of property, intellectual property law, family law, company law, insolvency law, bankruptcy law, competition law, arbitration law, and admiralty law. It also contains a detailed discussion of jurisdiction, arbitration, dispute resolution, and choice of law clauses.
The book focuses on the practical issues, with an emphasis on the rapidly developing local jurisprudence over the recent years. It also considers theoretical insights and suggestions for law reform when appropriate. Moreover, it systematically analyses the private international law issues arising out of inter-regional cases between Hong Kong on the one hand and Mainland China, Taiwan, and Macao SAR on the other.
This volume is a one-stop reference guide to Hong Kong private international law and will be indispensable to judges, practitioners and scholars in Hong Kong, the Greater China, Asia, and worldwide.
