Hong Kong’s judiciary said it plans to establish an International Commercial Court under the High Court to hear large, complex cross-border business disputes. Judgments from the proposed court would be enforceable in mainland China, a feature that could reinforce Hong Kong’s role in resolving regional commercial conflicts. The court is targeted for implementation within one year and is planned for the Admiralty High Court building. The judiciary has also said the court will use remote hearings, e-filing, electronic bundles and speech-to-text transcripts as part of a broader digital approach to case management and efficiency.
