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. |

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. |
