The Impact of Digitalisation on Cross-Border Legal Rules
Supporting Hong Kong's role as a Centre for International Dispute Resolution Services
In a world characterized by complex financial transactions and the frequent movement of goods, Private International Law (or 'Conflict of Laws') is vital for addressing the legal effects of cross-border interactions. While Hong Kong has launched initiatives like the Smart City Blueprint and eBRAM, insufficient attention has been given to how these digital shifts impact the legal rules governing them. This project fills that gap by providing practical, efficient, and fair legal solutions to support Hong Kong's digital economy.
