The 2026 Reissue is a substantial overhaul of the previous edition, featuring a restructured framework that better reflects the doctrinal architecture of conflict of laws (also known as private international law) as practised in Hong Kong today. The 2026 Reissue incorporates extensive new case law developments and provides in-depth coverage of significant statutory provisions and reforms, most notably the enactment and operation of various statutes regarding the recognition and enforcement of judgments between the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong (Cap 597, Cap 639, and Cap 645). The 2026 Reissue also offers substantial new analysis and original insights across a range of core conflict of laws topics, including jurisdiction, choice of law, and the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments, situating Hong Kong's private international law regime within broader comparative and regional contexts. It will serve as a valuable resource for practitioners, academics, and students navigating the evolving landscape of cross-border legal disputes in Hong Kong.
