Similarly, the Rules
provide that in certain cases, proceedings must be begun by
originating summons.  This covers applications made under any written law unless
commencement by some other means is expressly required or authorized.  This applies
to applications under various Ordinances, for example, those made for the
appointment of a new trustee, for vesting orders or for authority to deal with trust
property, etc, under the Trustee Ordinance (Cap 29); for exemption from jury service
by persons aggrieved by any action taken by the
Official Receiver,
and so forth.
Additionally, specific provisions of the Rules provide for applications to be made by
originating summons in a wide range of cases, for instance, applications for
interpleader relief,
for pre-action disclosure of documents,
for certain orders under
for sale of property subject to a charging
order,
for certain orders under the Arbitration Ordinance (Cap 341),
for an order
making a minor a ward of court,
and so on.
