During the General Adjourned Period, court proceedings were adjourned due to COVID-19 concerns. In view of public health considerations arising from COVID-19, most judicial training activities organised by the Hong Kong Judicial Institute, as well as those organised with/by other jurisdictions/organizations were postponed or cancelled in this period.
