J. THE MAIN CONCEPTS UNDERLYING THE WOOLF REFORMS

223. In this section, two of the key concepts underlying the Woolf and other reforms are discussed. In Section K, a series of possible reforms addressing more detailed procedural questions, drawn from the CPR and elsewhere will then be discussed with a view to identifying measures for possible selection as reforms to be adopted in Hong Kong.
224. The two key concepts are :-
224.1 Adoption of an explicit overriding objective for the system, complemented by a new set of procedural rules to be operated in accordance with the overriding objective; and,
224.2 Adoption of a comprehensive case management approach to civil procedure.
