G6.7.
Simplifying the rules, procedures and court forms
176. |
As discussed more fully
in Section M below, the objective of helping litigants in person by simplifying the
English text is only indirectly applicable in Hong Kong. Any reference that such litigants
may make to the procedural rules is most likely to be to the Chinese version. Accordingly,
they are likely to be assisted only if replacing the existing HCR with rules that are more
readily understandable in English enables the existing Chinese version to be replaced by a
more accessible Chinese translation. There is reason to believe that some improvement is
possible along these lines. Simplification of court forms in both languages would
obviously be helpful. |
