Welcome Message

Welcome to the website of the Judiciary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China.

The Basic Law provides that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall be vested with independent judicial power, including that of final adjudication. The Judiciary maintains an independent, transparent and effective judicial system which upholds the rule of law and safeguards the rights and freedoms of the individual.

This website enables you to access useful information about the work of the Judiciary, the services available for court users, and also our current major initiatives.

I hope you will find our website informative and helpful, and thank you for visiting.

Andrew Cheung
Chief Justice of the Court of Final Appeal
