| G5. | Litigants in person - a substantial call on the system's resources, particularly its bi-lingual resources |
| 152. | It is plain from the available evidence that unrepresented litigants are to be found in increasingly large numbers. This raises difficult issues for the HKSAR's civil justice system.

As Appendix C, Table 27 shows, there has recently been a sharp increase in hearings conducted in Chinese. |
