Section 4: Defining the underlying objectives and the court's case management
The CPR adopt as fundamental certain principles which define the "overriding
objective" of the civil justice system. The English court is directed to give effect to
the overriding objective in exercising its procedural and case management powers
(which are also defined).
The Working Party identifies four different facets of the CPR's overriding objective
and notes that, in the light of its recommendation in favour of reforms by way of
amendment as opposed to introduction of a wholly new code, the CPR overriding
objective, if adopted, would function differently in Hong Kong.
