This book focuses on the rules regulating property and conveyancing which apply in the territory and is intended for use by the non-lawyer. The organizational structure and concise text reflect this goal. For readers desiring additional information, an extensive notes section provides more comprehensive and detailed explanations as well as Chinese translations of key legal terms. As a survey, this text is appropriate for students of law, non-law professionals who need an overview of the subject, and general readers.
While there are publications on specific legal fields, no recent book includes several core legal subjects presented in a general manner. Resulting from this need for an updated work on the general principles of law in Hong Kong for use by non-law students and nonlegal professionals, the first edition of this book was published in 2006. After three printings, the latest in 2010, a new edition became necessary to reflect accurately the changes in the law since the first publication. Intended as a practical general guide to the more common legal principles as they relate to Hong Kong -- contract, tort, employment, and property -- the second edition should assist the reader in understanding and anticipating legal issues that might arise in commercial or daily personal situations. Therefore the second edition of this book has been updated to reflect recent court decisions and revisions to Hong Kong ordinances and has been reorganized to render the book more user friendly.
This book reveals an insider's view on how Hong Kong's land system, inherited from the British, has helped to create unrivalled wealth for the ruling class, how the lack of competition law has encouraged industrial and economic concentration in the same entities, and how these factors have given rise to a host of social and economic ills. The Chinese version has become the bestseller of non-fiction titles in Hong Kong in 2010.
Qiao demonstrates how an impersonal and unbounded market can operate without legal protection or enforcement of property and contract rights.
