This work provides a comprehensive and authoritative annotated guide to the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571), offering detailed, section-by-section commentary grounded in both statutory interpretation and practical application.

Drawing on the collective experience of leading practitioners at the Hong Kong Bar, including Parkside Chambers'  Bernard Mak, the text integrates analysis of legislative provisions with relevant case law, regulatory guidance, and enforcement practice. It is designed not only as a reference tool but as a practical aid for litigators, regulators, and transactional lawyers navigating Hong Kong’s increasingly sophisticated financial regulatory landscape.

Particular emphasis is placed on how the Ordinance operates in practice—before the courts, in dealings with the Securities and Futures Commission, and across contentious and non-contentious contexts—making this an indispensable resource for those advising on securities, market misconduct, and regulatory compliance.

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.

This textbook sets out in a clear, easy to read style the fundamental principles of conflict of laws in a Hong Kong context with emphasis on recent Hong Kong cases.

The conflict of laws is a subject with which all Hong Kong lawyers need to be familiar. However, while texts such as Johnston’s The Conflict of Laws in Hong Kong and (earlier editions of) Dicey & Morris’ The Conflict of Laws provide detailed and in-depth coverage of the subject, we have long lacked an introductory textbook to this subject that covers it from a Hong Kong perspective, so as to make the subject accessible to those coming to it for the first time. The aim of this book is to fill that gap.
