[Lexis Flip™] A Guide to Civil Procedure in Hong Kong - Sixth Edition (Student)
Authors: Michael Wilkinson, Eric Cheung, Gary Meggitt
It is quite startling just how many judgments involving points of civil procedure are coming from the courts and just to keep abreast of developments is almost a full-time occupation for practitioners and judges alike. And for students to master the rules is a considerable challenge. We hope that this text will go some way to alleviating their respective tasks.
