Disciplinary And Regulatory Proceedings In Hong Kong

Disciplinary and Regulatory Proceedings is the leading work on this important and dynamic area of law, written by leading practitioners in the field with considerable experience of tribunals both as chairmen and lawyers.

The importance of the law of disciplinary and regulatory proceedings has developed what the editors call deep seismic changes since the 2nd edition. Part of the reason for this rapid expansion has been the enactment of the Human Rights Act 1998, with its impact covering the whole field of professional and regulatory bodies. This edition contains much reordering and indeed, rewriting of material, such as the "common framework" of disciplinary and regulatory proceedings in order to improve the presentation; Chapter 3, Human Rights, has been recast so as to bring the Convention requirements into greater prominence, and the tortious liability of regulators and professional bodies now has a separate chapter.
