Section 30:  Unrepresented litigants
Section 31:  Judicial review
Proposal 69 
Reforms should be adopted to simplify description of the scope of judicial review and to
simplify the terminology for forms of judicial review relief.
Rules along the lines of CPR 54.1 to 54.3, suitably adapted, retaining the present
terminology, should be adopted for defining the scope of judicial review proceedings in
Hong Kong.
Proposal 70 
Provisions should be adopted to facilitate participation in judicial review proceedings by
persons interested therein other than the applicant and respondent.
Provision should be made to enable persons wishing to be heard at the substantive hearing,
subject to the court's discretion, to be heard in support of, as well as in opposition to, an
application for judicial review.
