Directors' duties amidst the coronavirus outbreak

June 1, 2020

Hong Kong: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected businesses all over the world. Whilst directors will actually consider that their primary responsibility is to keep the business running during difficult times, it is equally important to bear in mind that this should be done in accordance with the law and via appropriate means. A director should always have regard to the company's financial status and avoid entering into transactions that are in breach of his/her fiduciary duties as director, especially when the company's solvency is open to question.

Recognition and enforcement of Mainland Arbitration Awards in Hong Kong

May 29, 2020

Before 1997, arbitral awards were recognised and enforced between Hong Kong and Mainland China by way of a mutual arrangement under The Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (the “New York Convention”). The New York Convention no longer applied after 1997 as Hong Kong and Mainland China were no longer “separate parties” to the convention. Consequently, the Arrangement Concerning Mutual Enforcement of Arbitral Awards between the Mainland and the HKSAR (the “Arrangement for Mutual Enforcement of Arbitral Awards”) was signed in June 1999 and came into effect in February 2000. In Hong Kong, the implementation of the Arrangement for Mutual Enforcement of Arbitral Awards is detailed in the Arbitration Ordinance (Cap. 609) (the “Arbitration Ordinance”).
