These transactions raise questions about the character of the receipt, the role of the platform and the location of the activity that generates the income. Their tax treatment becomes particularly complex when creators, platforms and audiences are located in different jurisdictions.    Drawing on examples from YouTube, Twitch, OnlyFans and direct fan-support models, this seminar examines the classification of creator receipts, including the distinction between gifts and business income and the treatment of barter arrangements. It also considers how platform contracts affect income recognition and how the allocation of responsibilities between creators and platforms shapes VAT\/GST obligations. European case law provides a comparative perspective on these classification and platform issues.    The international analysis focuses on tax residence, source and treaty classification, with particular attention to the possible application of Article 17 of the OECD Model Tax Convention to online entertainment and streamed performances. It explores the significance of the creator\u2019s physical location and the connection between particular payments and personal performance. Hong Kong examples provide a local reference point for the discussion of source and taxing rights. The seminar concludes by considering whether existing concepts of source and performance adequately reflect how creators generate income across borders.    This seminar is jointly co-organized by the CCTL Tax Law and Policy Forum and International Fiscal Association \u2013 HK Branch.    &lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker:&lt;\/strong&gt;    Prof. Dr. Karolina Tet\u0142ak, LL.M. (Harvard Law School), is an Assistant Professor of Tax Law at the University of Warsaw, Poland. She specialises in Polish, European and international tax law. Her academic work spans double tax treaties, corporate and individual taxation, VAT, real estate, wealth and property taxation, tax policy and fiscal design, as well as the taxation of highly mobile individuals, environmental taxation and EU own resources. Her current research focuses on tax competition within the European Union, corporate residence and place of effective management, global mobility and remote work, and the allocation of taxing rights in an increasingly mobile and digitalised economy.    A distinctive area of her work is sports and entertainment taxation. She is internationally recognised for her research on the taxation of professional athletes and clubs, image rights, e-sports and the fiscal frameworks of major international sporting events, including the FIFA World Cup, the Olympic Games and UEFA tournaments. Her doctoral research on the taxation of internationally mobile sportspersons was published by IBFD in its prestigious Doctoral Series as Taxation of International Sportsmen. Her research in this field has also been supported by a FIFA research grant.    She is the author and co-author of more than 120 academic publications and regularly teaches and speaks at universities, conferences and seminars worldwide. She has taught international tax law across Europe, Asia, North and South America, including courses at Wirtschaftsuniversit\u00e4t Wien and Southwest University in Chongqing. She is also involved in international academic programmes and comparative research projects, including the EUCOTAX programme. She is a member of the International Fiscal Association and the European Association of Tax Law Professors and co-founder of the International Taxation of Entertainers Group.    Dr Tet\u0142ak combines academic research with extensive expert and advisory work. She advises private clients, public institutions, tax administrations and international organisations on complex international and EU tax matters, including cross-border structuring, treaty application, tax policy and high-profile tax disputes. Her advisory work frequently involves complex transactions and structures, novel or contentious tax issues and matters requiring the interaction of domestic, EU and international tax law. She has contributed to projects for the United Nations and the European Commission, and as a consultant to UN DESA she participated in work on the Commentary to Article 17 of the UN Model Tax Convention. She has also acted as an expert witness in tax-related arbitration proceedings before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID).    &lt;strong&gt;&lt;!--EndFragment --&gt;&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;!--EndFragment --&gt;    Register &lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/cloud.itsc.cuhk.edu.hk\/webform\/view.php?id=13745716&quot;

data-olk-copy-source=&quot;MessageBody&quot;&gt;Self-government rests on a division of labour. Institutions produce knowledge, citizens rely on it, and trust holds the two together. A citizen cannot judge a clinical trial or a court ruling for herself, but she can trust the process that produced it. When enough citizens do, a society can argue about what to do while agreeing on the facts. When they do not, the facts become one more thing to argue about. The harm of digital misinformation was never that it put falsehoods into circulation. Falsehoods have always circulated. The harm was that it split the public into communities that trust different institutions, so that no fact could settle anything across the divide, and no fact-checker was believed by those who needed convincing. Generative artificial intelligence makes this worse. It can write, for each reader separately and in any quantity, text that sounds exactly like an institution, and it lets anyone dismiss real evidence as fake. Worse, it is now inside the institutions themselves, shaping the knowledge they produce, and it stands between them and the public as a new authority of its own: the chatbot. Almost all current regulation, from Singapore\u2019s correction notices to the United Kingdom\u2019s false-communications offence and the European Union\u2019s labelling rules, is built on truth, on finding and fixing false content. None of it addresses the real harm: that citizens no longer know whom to trust. This talk argues for regulating for trust instead: protecting the conditions under which citizens can recognise institutional knowledge and rely on it, and accepting that the law can protect those conditions but cannot produce the trust itself.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker:&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;br \/&gt;Gilad Abiri is an Associate Professor of Law and Co-Director of the Program on Law and Innovation at Peking University School of Transnational Law.

 Register  &lt;\/a&gt;    Who owns a shipwreck? The flag state? The coastal state? A salvor? A museum? Or the communities whose histories, identities, and livelihoods are intertwined with the sea?    Across Asia, underwater cultural heritage lies at the centre of competing claims involving governments, commercial salvors, museums, collectors, archaeologists, local communities, and the descendants of those connected to historic vessels. Legal frameworks are essential for resolving questions of jurisdiction and ownership, but they cannot by themselves determine how underwater cultural heritage should be valued, interpreted, or safeguarded. Many of the most significant challenges extend beyond law to questions of ethics, identity, memory, and social justice.    Drawing on archaeological research and heritage projects from across Southeast Asia\u2014including Cambodia, Indonesia, and the broader South China Sea\u2014this lecture explores how shipwrecks have become contested places where historical narratives, economic interests, and cultural values intersect. Through case studies ranging from commercially salvaged cargoes and colonial-era shipwrecks to wartime wrecks and living maritime traditions, it examines how different stakeholders understand ownership, significance, and responsibility.    Rather than asking who has the strongest legal claim, this lecture argues that ownership is the wrong question. The more important question is who has the responsibility to safeguard Asia&#039;s underwater cultural heritage, and for whose benefit. By placing communities, collaboration, and sustainable heritage management at the centre of decision-making, underwater archaeology can move beyond debates over treasure and title to become a means of protecting cultural identity, supporting local livelihoods, strengthening international cooperation, and ensuring that underwater cultural heritage continues to benefit present and future generations.    &lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:    Sarah Ward is a Maritime Archaeologist and Doctoral Researcher based at the Centre for Heritage and Museum Studies at the Australian National University, where she explores critical, participatory approaches to the governance and safeguarding of maritime and underwater cultural heritage in Asia. Her work examines how archaeology can contribute to sustainable development by connecting communities, policy and practice through collaborative, action-oriented research.    Recognised by UNESCO as &quot;one of Asia-Pacific&#039;s most distinguished and experienced experts&quot; in underwater cultural heritage, Sarah has more than 24 years of international experience spanning academia, government, consulting and the not-for-profit sector. She has led archaeological investigations, heritage management projects and capacity-building initiatives throughout the Asia-Pacific, with particular expertise in maritime archaeology, underwater cultural heritage, heritage governance, and community-based heritage management.    Sarah is the founding Executive Director and Chair of the Council for Asian Underwater Cultural Heritage (CAUCH), Co-Director of the China\u2013Cambodia Underwater Cultural Heritage Cooperation, and a Consultant Foreign Expert to China&#039;s National Centre for Archaeology. An MIT Ocean Discovery Fellow and Fellow of the Explorers&#039; Club, she was Dalian Maritime University&#039;s first Professor of Underwater Archaeology and has also held visiting professorships at Ocean University of China and Shandong University, China.    Her current work seeks to reframe underwater cultural heritage beyond questions of ownership, advancing collaborative approaches that safeguard maritime heritage while strengthening cultural identity, community resilience, and sustainable futures across Asia.

 Register  &lt;\/a&gt;    Long before the unification of China, legal and administrative documents already discussed the difficulties involved in governing the stupid. This seminar explores various aspects of this multi-faceted problem, beginning with early attempts to define when stupidity had crossed into an intellectual impairment, which meant that the individual concerned could no longer be held legally responsible for their actions, but was also subject to discriminatory legislation. Issues also arose when individuals were demonstrably afflicted with senile dementia, as theorists debated whether this disqualified them from holding positions of power.    Subsequently, I consider the problem of administering ordinary stupid men and women. Thinkers in early China commonly described stupidity as a manageable issue, but one which nevertheless required harsh punishments to act as a deterrent. While older stupid men and women were generally credited with sufficient sense to avoid getting themselves into legal trouble, there was apparently a never-ending supply of young stupid people with poor impulse control engaging in criminal acts. Legal theorists argued that severe penalties making an example of them, while unpleasant for everyone concerned, nevertheless demonstrated to their victims that justice was done.    Finally, there is the problem of the stupid ruler, who was responsible for creating legislation in the first place. As the Legalist philosopher Han Feizi noted, few rulers are sages or irredeemably wicked, most are just run-of-the-mill stupid. However, the task of getting them to make good laws could be a considerable challenge for their ministers.    &lt;strong&gt;About the speaker:&lt;\/strong&gt;    Olivia Milburn, Professor at the School of Chinese, HKU. Her research focuses primarily on discourses of power and how this affects marginalized groups\u2014such as members of ethnic or sexual minorities, the mentally or physically impaired, and those of low socio-economic status\u2014in early and medieval China, including through discriminatory legislation. She has written extensively on gender-based and domestic violence in ancient China, and is currently at work on a new study of the writings of Han Feizi, as well as co-editing (with Albert Galvany) the first study in any language about stupidity in early China. Her books include &lt;em&gt;The Spring and Autumn Annals of Master Yan&lt;\/em&gt; (2016); &lt;em&gt;The Empress in the Pepper Chamber: Zhao Feiyan in History and Fiction&lt;\/em&gt; (2021); &lt;em&gt;Kingdoms in Peril&lt;\/em&gt; (2023); &lt;em&gt;Spring and Autumn Annals of the Kingdoms of Wu and Yue: A Literary Translation of the First Chinese Novel, Wu Yue chunqiu&lt;\/em&gt; (2024); and &lt;em&gt;Khitan and Mongol Imperial Women in the Chinese Imagination: Ming Fantasies about Conquest Dynasty Harems&lt;\/em&gt; (2025).

Domestic courts are state organs and thus, from an international law perspective, they must implement the duty of non-recognition in relation to unlawful situations created in violation of fundamental international norms (such as the ban on aggression). Although the duty of non-recognition has been repeatedly affirmed by the International Court of Justice and was codified in the International Law Commission\u2019s Articles on State Responsibility in 2001, its implications for domestic judicial actors remain underexplored.    In particular, the project will explore how domestic judges should interpret the so-called Namibia exception: the International Court of Justice has affirmed that the duty of non-recognition should not lead to deprivation of individual rights, creating an exception to the duty of non-recognition pertaining to individual rights. The project will study which situations fall within the Namibia exception as a matter of customary international law, and which are the means available to domestic judges to apply the exception. Indeed,  the boundaries of the Namibia exception vary depending on jurisdiction, with certain courts tipping the scale in favour of the duty of non-recognition, others more prone to protect individual rights.    The project aims at exploring domestic case law from different jurisdictions as well as the interplay of several branches of law, such as private international law, international humanitarian law, and international human rights law.    This is a work-in-progress at a very early stage: any comment is welcome!    &lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker:&lt;\/strong&gt;  &lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;    Marco Longobardo (PhD) is Reader in International Law at the University of Westminster.

  &lt;p&gt;Agentic AI refers to systems designed to act autonomously and to pursue complex goals with minimal human intervention. Unlike traditional AI, agentic AI systems are said to be proactive: perceiving environments, reasoning about objectives, planning action sequences and accessing tools. As fascinating as such descriptions may be, lawyers are often left with an uneasy feeling \u2013 what are the legal implications of such systems, if any? What hides behind the new terminology? What are the new legal problems? While a cautious and deliberate deployment of agentic AI may yield efficiency gains and facilitate some legal tasks, an uninformed and overly enthusiastic reliance on this technology may lead to disaster.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The seminar adopts a factual approach and opposes suggestions that agentic AI can engage in intentional actions or should be regarded as a discrete legal entity. Irrespective of whether we talk about computer programs, AI agents or agentic AI, those systems always operate for and act \u201con behalf\u201d of their users. While their impressive technical capabilities have great economic potential, legal practitioners must not underestimate the role of the human user: agentic AI derives its autonomy from prior human decisions and, crucially, instructions. It is humans who may mis-specify the goals to be achieved or provide the agent with incorrect (i.e. imprecise) instructions. It is also humans who decide which tasks to entrust to this technology and what level of control to retain over its operations. The hype surrounding agentic AI can only become reality if the technology is used with caution and in an informed manner.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The seminar addresses the following questions:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What exactly is agentic AI? How does it relate to AI and to Large Language Models?&lt;br \/&gt;What are the main risks and benefits of using and relying on Agentic AI? What safeguards are required?&lt;br \/&gt;What the cybersecurity concerns surrounding Agentic AI?&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker:&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prof. Eliza Mik has joined the CUHK Faculty of Law in January 2021. Before academia, she worked in-house for a number of software and telecommunications companies in Australia, Poland, Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates. She advised on software licensing, technology procurement and e-commerce regulation. Dating back to her PhD thesis, Eliza\u2019s interests have always centered on the private law aspects of e-commerce and on general problems of transaction automation, particularly with the use of technologies commonly referred to as Artificial Intelligence. Eliza is also one of the most cited authors on the topic of \u201csmart contracts.\u201d In recent years, her academic explorations also include the use of AI in legal education and in the legal profession.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p data-olk-copy-source=&quot;MessageBody&quot;&gt;Register &lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/cloud.itsc.cuhk.edu.hk\/webform\/view.php?id=13746266&quot;

 Register  &lt;\/a&gt;    Later-life disputes rarely fit neatly into one legal category. This one-hour seminar explores elder law as a coherent field, bringing together questions of capacity, care, medical decision-making, safeguarding, assets and succession.    Through practical scenarios, it will also introduce the emerging role of elder mediation in navigating family conflict while preserving dignity and keeping the older person\u2019s voice at the centre of decision-making.    &lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:    Winnie Chan is a Hong Kong barrister, mediator and elder mediator with over 30 years of legal experience and a broad civil practice spanning property, business, family assets, medical negligence and other disputes.  She is director of Elder Mediation Development of the Hong Kong Mediation Society and founder of the Elder Mediation &amp; Elder Law Academy, where she promotes greater understanding of the legal, practical and relational challenges of later life.    Her work focuses on helping families across the wealth spectrum address issues of care, capacity, succession, assets and changing roles across generations.    She sees mediation as a constructive process for preserving dignity, strengthening communication and ensuring that the older person\u2019s voice remains at the centre of decision-making.
