This book serves as a comprehensive resource that integrates both the civil and criminal aspects of law as they relate to financial regulation and misconduct more broadly. This area of law can be challenging to access, even for legal professionals, as it straddles the realms of criminal, civil and regulatory practice. This book is a valuable resource not just for lawyers, but also for those working within the broader financial sector. 

It offers up-to-date commentary on case law and tribunal decisions in Hong Kong. The text itself intends to highlight and discuss the key principles, while the footnotes contain detailed references and cross references to all the relevant authorities. This extensive reliance on authorities means that the reader can, if necessary, dive much deeper into particular areas and be sure that the principles stated in the text rest on sound authority. 

The book will provide a rich resource for anyone operating in the financial sector in Hong Kong, or those abroad who have dealings with the Hong Kong markets.
