Arbitration in Hong Kong A Practical Guide, Fifth Edition, 2022 is a model of clarity and penetrating analysis with different chapters written by highly experienced practitioners in the field. It has new material dealing with the up-to-date topics of great importance to practitioners involved in Asia-related arbitration (the Arrangement on Mutual Assistance Interim Measures between Hong Kong and the PRC, Third-Party Funding of Arbitration in Hong Kong and Hong Kong arbitration in the context of Belt and Road Disputes) and of general interest (Virtual Hearings and Ethics in International Arbitration).

Crucially, there have been many new developments since the 4th edition four years back and this is reflected in several new chapters dealing with the Arrangement Concerning Mutual Assistance in Court Ordered Interim Measures by the Courts of the Mainland and of the HKSAR, Third Party Funding for Arbitration in Hong Kong, Belt and Road Disputes and Virtual Hearings. The significance of these changes to arbitration in Hong Kong cannot be stressed enough and in time these developments will cement even more Hong Kong’s importance as a dispute resolution centre.
