Greater clarity, more certainty: the new arrangement between the PRC and HKSAR for mutual recognition and enforcement of judgments
1 min read
A new arrangement between the Mainland and the Hong Kong Special Administration Region on reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments was signed on 18 January 2019.

In this client briefing we consider the developments introduced by the new Arrangement, and some of its limitations.
