Section 14: Docket system, specialist lists and vexatious litigants
Proposal 20
docket system should be explored for use either generally or in connection with particular
classes of proceedings.
The Working Party does not recommend adopting a docket system generally for managing
cases in Hong Kong. However, it supports the continued use of effectively a docket system
in accordance with specialist list procedures or pursuant to applications made under PD 5.7
in respect of cases thought appropriate for management by a docket system.
Proposal 21
Specialist lists should be preserved and Specialist Courts permitted to publish procedural
guides modifying the application of the general body of rules to cases in such specialist lists..
The procedural autonomy currently conferred on judges in charge of specialist lists should be
maintained and any special practices adopted should be published as practice directions.
Judges in charge of specialist lists, in consultation with users of that list, ought to give
consideration to the possible development and introduction, with the agreement of the Chief
Judge of the High Court, of suitable pre-action protocols for some or all cases in that list.
