Drawing upon a dataset of all publicly accessible court judgements handed down by the Qianhai Court during the 2015-2020 period, our research empirically examines how private international law is applied in the Court’s cases involving Hong Kong or Macau elements.
The Article reports preliminary empirical findings on selected private international law issues, including the choice of law, party autonomy, proof of foreign law, parallel litigation, and ordre public. The Qianhai Court’s practices shed light on how domestic courts approach private international law in the context of the Greater Bay Area that features three civil and common law.
The Law Society of Hong Kong has awarded this seminar 1 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) point.
