| Summary/Abstract |
. Hong Kong is a place which has a possibly unparalleled tradition of looking outwards, toward the world’s largest ocean and out across its greatest landmass. The vast amount of wares and funds that have passed through the territory, and the services that have been provided from within its shores, have not only supplied the economic lifeblood of a great city but have helped forge a society committed to free markets and the fostering of trade and investment and one which is receptive of ideas carried from abroad. All of this has been underpinned by the role law plays in Hong Kong in respecting bargains made and providing the framework in which business is conducted, disputes resolved and obligations enforced. Hong Kong, undoubtedly, is one of the world’s great legal centres.
