target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;          Register      &lt;\/a&gt;   &lt;p&gt;In the modern sense, law often refers to a coherent system of rules, a distinct branch of knowledge, a specialized professional community, and an institutionalized mechanism for resolving disputes. However, this conception of law\u2014centered on justiciability\u2014is not universally applicable across all cultures and historical contexts. From the perspective of social governance and normativity, this seminar provides a case study of a so-called \u201clawless\u201d traditional society such as imperial China that offers new insights into the conception of law.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The seminar explores the forms of normativity that regulate people\u2019s lives and guide their actions in China from a historical perspective, while questioning conventional understandings of the distinctive features of the Chinese legal tradition. \u201cHeavenly Principles, National Law, Human Sentiments\u201d\u2014tianli, guofa, renqing\u2014may be seen as a characteristic representation of \u201claw\u201d in the Chinese mind, in which these are not understood as three separate normative orders. This conception differs from the Western distinction between law and morality. Reconsidering \u201claw\u201d in these terms invites us to reflect critically on the modern system of law, even of social sciences, and to trace the legacy of traditional normative ideas that remains deeply embedded in Chinese legal practice today.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The seminar also warns that this does not mean romanticizing the past. The challenge, therefore, is to escape Western categories without retreating into cultural relativism. By placing different historical conceptions of law into dialogue, legal history may contribute to a more universally applicable jurisprudence.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the speaker:&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;WANG Zhiqiang, Professor of Fudan University Law School. His research and teaching interests cover Chinese legal history and comparative law. He is the author of \u6cd5\u5f8b\u591a\u5143\u8996\u89d2\u4e0b\u7684\u6e05\u4ee3\u570b\u5bb6\u6cd5 [State Law in the Qing from a Perspective of Legal Pluralism] (2003; revised ed., 2017, \u6e05\u4ee3\u570b\u5bb6\u6cd5\uff1a\u591a\u5143\u5dee\u7570\u8207\u96c6\u6b0a\u7d71\u4e00), and the Chinese translator of The Origins of Adversary Criminal Trial (by John H. Langbein). His articles and book chapters on Chinese and comparative legal history have been widely published in Chinese, English, Japanese and French.

 Register  &lt;\/a&gt;    In 2025 the International Law Commission (ILC) took up the topic &quot;Compensation for the damage caused by internationally wrongful acts&quot;, and in 2026 it discussed the first report of its Special Rapporteur. One of the most complex questions the Commission will have to address is how compensation is to be determined when there is a concurrency of causes of harm. This may occur when states act together, as in joint armed attacks on a third state. It may also occur when independent acts add up to cumulative harm, as with climate change or marine pollution. Such situations raise two questions: how the causes of harm are to be established, and how the obligation to make reparation should be divided among multiple actors. The law of international responsibility, as codified by the ILC, offers few rules on which courts and states can rely to answer these questions, and the Commission will need to develop them in its work on compensation. In this talk, Professor Nollkaemper will examine which principles of international law can help fill this gap. He will draw on recent case law of the International Court of Justice, notably the 2022 compensation judgment in &lt;em&gt;Armed Activities on the Territory of the Congo&lt;\/em&gt; (DRC v. Uganda) and the 2025 advisory opinion on the obligations of states in respect of climate change, as well as relevant state practice.  &lt;ul&gt;&lt;\/ul&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:    Professor Andr\u00e9 Nollkaemper is Distinguished Professor International Law and Sustainability at the University of Amsterdam. He is a member of the Institut de Droit International and the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Netherlands. He is a former Dean of the University of Amsterdam Law School, former president of the European Society for International Law, and former External Legal Advisor to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands. He has published widely on general international law, the law of international responsibility, the relationship between international law and national law, and international environmental law.  &lt;ul&gt;&lt;\/ul&gt;

 Register  &lt;\/a&gt;    For almost a century the duty of care has attracted calls for reform, ranging from its elimination as a historical accident to its deconstruction of the various questions now gathered under duty, to breach, remoteness, causation, damage and the defences. Running against this, the courts have been charged with quietly moving in the opposite direction, over-specifying the duty question so that cases once resolved at other elements come to be resolved through the duty analysis instead. This paper argues that the more consequential \u201csurreptitious\u201d movement has in fact been the first. The principal case study is &lt;em&gt;Deloitte &amp; Touche v Hin Leong Trading&lt;\/em&gt;, in which a five-judge Court of Appeal of Singapore declined to define the duty of care by reference to the particular damage claimed, on the ground that this would fold remoteness into duty, and removed the &lt;em&gt;SAAMCo&lt;\/em&gt; limitation from the scope of the duty altogether. That decision is read alongside recent English authority, including &lt;em&gt;Darnley&lt;\/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Robinson&lt;\/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Poole&lt;\/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Paul&lt;\/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Tindall&lt;\/em&gt;, and against the contrary pull of &lt;em&gt;Manchester Building Society&lt;\/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Khan v Meadows&lt;\/em&gt;, in order to ask three questions: what is actually being relocated; whether the relocation can be traced to arguments made in the literature or merely converges with them; and what turns on the move by way of pleading, proof and appellate control. The broader concern sought to be addressed is with the duty element in the common law of negligence and its relationship to the other elements of the tort.    &lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:    Aaron Yoong is an Assistant Professor of Law at the Yong Pung How School of Law, Singapore Management University.

     &lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/cloud.itsc.cuhk.edu.hk\/webform\/view.php?id=13738023&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;          Register      &lt;\/a&gt;   &lt;p&gt;This lecture honours the enduring legacy of Professor Peter Rhodes by exploring the core pillars of his vision: integrity, education, and the evolving landscape of international arbitration. As a foundational and transformative figure at CUHK LAW, Professor Rhodes revolutionalised legal advocacy by institutionalising mooting as a core educational pillar. Under his legendary guidance, teams achieved historic milestones, including the 2016 Vis East Moot championship, proving that rigorous training shapes world-class advocates. Moving from his legacy, this address analyses the changing tides driven by geopolitical dynamics, digital integration, and heightened demands for ethical transparency within modern international dispute resolution.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anthony Neoh, SC&lt;\/strong&gt;, Chairman, Asian Academy of International Law.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr Anthony Neoh, SC, JP is a senior member of the Hong Kong Bar specialising in international litigation and arbitration.

  &lt;p&gt;In this seminar, Maxence Rivoire will present some of the main findings of his forthcoming book, &lt;i&gt;The Principles of Territoriality in Intellectual Property Arbitration&lt;\/i&gt;. Territoriality is often invoked as a self-evident, authoritative principle in support of solutions to jurisdictional and applicable law problems arising in intellectual property arbitration. Yet territoriality is not a unitary concept, but an umbrella term encompassing several distinct ideas. Drawing on a wide range of comparative sources and recently published arbitral awards, the book brings together insights from intellectual property law, international arbitration, and private international law to disentangle the different meanings of territoriality and examine their implications for intellectual property arbitration. In particular, the seminar will consider how these different understandings of territoriality affect the arbitrability of intellectual property disputes and the determination of the applicable law.&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Dr Maxence Rivoire is a Lecturer in Law at the Dickson Poon School of Law, King\u2019s College London. He is also an academic fellow of the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple, and an associate member of the Panth\u00e9on-Assas Institute of Comparative Law.&lt;\/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Maxence&#039;s research focuses on private international law, international arbitration, and intellectual property, with a strong emphasis on the comparative aspects of these disciplines. His recent work won several prizes, including the Yorke Prize, the Nappert Prize in International Arbitration, and the American Society&nbsp;of International Law\u2019s Prize for Best Published Work in the Field of International IP Law.&lt;\/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Prior to becoming an academic, Maxence was an international arbitration associate at Freshfields in Paris. He is included on the List of Arbitrators of several arbitral institutions, including the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center, the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre, and the Patent Mediation and Arbitration Centre of the Unified Patent Court. Qualified and admitted to practice in France, Maxence holds a PhD from the University of Cambridge, a Magister Juris from the University of Oxford, an LLM in Private International Law and International Commercial Law from Paris 1 Panth\u00e9on-Sorbonne University, and an LLB from the University of Grenoble.&lt;\/p&gt;

 Register  &lt;\/a&gt;    This seminar will be divided into two parts. During first part, international investment law, its origins and content will be discussed. Second part will focus on contemporary challenges which IIL, and especially ISDS faces today. Therefore, we will discuss if this system is difunctional today and needs no, moderate or severe reform. We will try to identify what elements of IIL\/ISDS are most criticized and why. This will allow students to discuss what is the future of IIL\/ISDS.    &lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:    Dr \u017benkiewicz is an academic and legal adviser on international law.

  &lt;p&gt;Sham and illusory trusts are, in their modern forms, relatively recent and controversial doctrines. Although the sham doctrine has an orthodox core, &lt;em&gt;Taylor v Savik &lt;\/em&gt;has reopened questions about whether the common-intention requirement applies universally and whether sham necessarily entails an intention to mislead or dishonesty. The nature and limits of the illusory trust doctrine have likewise been debated since &lt;em&gt;Clayton&lt;\/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Pugachev&lt;\/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;Webb&lt;\/em&gt;. This seminar examines the foundational and recent case law and asks how settlor direction and control\u2014exercised through letters of wishes, reserved powers, formal roles within the trust structure, or informal commercial pressure\u2014should influence the development of these doctrines.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mark Bennett is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Law at Te Herenga Waka, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. He is a trusts law scholar whose work examines the boundaries of legitimate trust form, including settlor control, illusory trusts, asset protection, and the use of trusts to avoid or subvert other areas of law. He is a co-editor of the&lt;em&gt; Oxford Handbook of Comparative Trust Laws&lt;\/em&gt;, and has published articles in the &lt;em&gt;Oxford Journal of Legal Studies&lt;\/em&gt;, the &lt;em&gt;King&#039;s Law Journal&lt;\/em&gt;, the &lt;em&gt;Osgoode Hall Law Journal&lt;\/em&gt;, the &lt;em&gt;Journal of Equity, and Law and Philosophy&lt;\/em&gt;, among others.

The discussion will explore where AI is already making a meaningful difference, the opportunities and challenges associated with its adoption, the implications for professional responsibility and governance, and the ways in which lawyers and legal institutions can adapt to a rapidly evolving technological landscape while preserving the human judgment, accountability and trust at the heart of the profession.    &lt;strong&gt;Programme:&lt;\/strong&gt;

 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.

data-olk-copy-source=&quot;MessageBody&quot;&gt;Each year, multilateral development institutions provide billions of US dollars in financing for projects around the world. Such extensive investment, often in infrastructure and natural resource sectors, means that whether development is sustainable depends not only on the scale of financing, but also on how effectively environmental and social (\u2018E&amp;S\u2019) risks are governed throughout project implementation. This talk examines how integrity sanctions systems already operating within multilateral development banks (\u201cMDBs\u201d) can strengthen E&amp;S governance and advance sustainable outcomes in MDB-financed projects.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Using the World Bank Group\u2019s Sanctions System as its principal case study, the talk explains how sustainable procurement reforms embed E&amp;S requirements in bidder representations and contractual performance requirements. These requirements create jurisdictional touchpoints through which existing prohibitions on fraudulent, corrupt, collusive, coercive, and obstructive practices can be applied to E&amp;S-linked misconduct by contractors and other third parties. The Sanctions System thereby complements the World Bank\u2019s established E&amp;S oversight mechanisms by enabling direct accountability for project implementers and providing additional investigative capacity, deterrence, and compliance-based rehabilitation.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The talk then broadens the analysis by examining additional ways in which integrity sanctions may contribute to sustainable outcomes in MDB development financing. It considers, for example, how financial remedies imposed through integrity sanctions regimes may be used to support remediation and other sustainability-related purposes. The talk will also offer preliminary reflections on the governance frameworks and other enabling conditions that may be relevant to the utilization of such measures by the MDBs.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker:&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;br \/&gt;Mr. Chang Liu is Counsel in the World Bank\u2019s Office of Suspension and Debarment, where he participates in the review of sanctions cases to assess whether companies or individuals should be suspended or debarred from eligibility for World Bank\u2013financed contracts. Before joining the World Bank, he practiced at leading international law firms, advising clients on white-collar defense, internal investigations, and complex cross-border commercial disputes. Outside his role at the World Bank, Mr. Liu serves as Diversity and Inclusion Officer for the International Bar Association\u2019s Forum for Government and Public Lawyers. He speaks regularly on the World Bank\u2019s Sanctions System and broader integrity and anti-corruption issues at universities, professional associations, and international conferences. Mr. Liu holds a B.S., with honors, in Economics and Urban Studies from Trinity College (CT) and a J.D., cum laude, from Harvard Law School, where he served as Executive Editor of the Harvard International Law Journal.&lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;\",\r\n            \"image\": \"https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20261014_web.jpg\",\r\n            \"name\": \"Faculty Research Seminar &#8211;

  &lt;p&gt;This book examines how civilization modes determine constitutional effectiveness, comparing the Chinese moral duty-driven civilization with the Western desire-driven civilization. &lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Chinese civilization is oriented by cosmic apprehensiveness, structured by the &quot;mutuality of existence&quot; ontology (I live because of others, I must live for others), and driven by (unconditional) moral duties. Moral duties 1) create &quot;existentiality&quot; (\u2014a baby lives because his mother unconditionally fulfils her maternal duties); 2) generate the capacity to distinguish good from evil, right from wrong in human affairs, and 3) optimise and sustain the conversion mechanism of &quot;duty generates order, order generates functions&quot; \u2014When citizens comply with legal rules under moral duties, they activate compatible orders producing sustainable constitutional functions\u2014freedoms, rights, equality, governance, reform, etc.. A moral duty - sustained conversion mechanism is the hallmark &quot;source code&quot; for universal constitutions. The Chinese moral duties tradition has ensured her long periods of national and social development, harmony with her neighbours, and has catapulted an impoverished China back to fast-track development since the late twentieth century.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Western civilization, dominated by religious faith and, since five centuries ago, by liberated human desires, is fundamentally amoral. Human desires liberated in Europe are amoral, possessive, exclusive, and conflicting life forces. Liberated individual desires have since been normalized to produce a &quot;desire-driven, liberal constitutional paradigm.&quot; It comprises amoral and incoherent \u201cfreedom, democracy, free market, social justice, etc.\u201d These amoral and incoherent constitutional functions have fuelled centuries of imperialist wars, colonial expansions, two devastating world wars, and other conflicts. After the war, amoral desires were elevated to the &quot;universal value&quot; of \u201chuman rights\u201d, causing Western powers to confuse, and justify &quot;desire-driven post war hegemony&quot; for &quot;international justice,&quot; which provokes endless further wars. A civilisation that mistakes amoral desires for human rights is a sub-civilisation, and produces only sub-universal constitutional functions.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The book argues that liberals should transform Western amoral &quot;imperialist nations&quot; into &quot;civilization nations&quot; by seeking and activating their own moral duty traditions. Only by choosing a &quot;life of duties&quot; can one truly enters a &quot;life of freedom.&quot;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The author is a Practising Barrister and Senior Counsel. In the 1980s, he joined the Hong Kong Department of Justice as a public prosecutor. Through his early-year attachment to Lincoln&#039;s Inn in London and involvements in criminal appeals at the Privy Council, he experienced both the strength and subtlety of the common law in its grandeur years. &lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His prosecutorial duties covered mainly commercial crime, corruption, criminal appeals, and related administrative law litigation.

  &lt;p&gt;At the turn of the 19th century, Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin had the Parthenon marbles hacked out of the ancient temple in Ottoman-occupied Athens, removing half of its sculptural decoration and causing irreversible damage to the building&#039;s structure. In 1816, deep in debt, he sold the marbles to the British government, which subsequently entrusted them to the British Museum. Almost half a century later, in another country, his son, James Bruce, 8th Earl of Elgin, ordered the destruction of the Old Summer Palace in Beijing during the Second Opium War. This resulted in countless artefacts being dispersed across collections around the world. Today, the question is asked: what can be done to help this cultural heritage find its way home?&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Catharine Titi, Dr iur., is an international lawyer and tenured Research Associate Professor at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS)\u2013CERSA, Paris-Panth\u00e9on-Assas University, France.

  &lt;p&gt;Both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders want to nationalize AI. So do many others, from bipartisan congressional committees to national security hawks to academic critical theorists. Should governments nationalize frontier AI? Part of the problem is that no one knows what nationalization means: the leading proposals are quite different from one another. This talk makes two contributions. First, it defines nationalization. Drawing on the economic theory of ownership, nationalization bundles two separable entitlements: residual claim rights, or who captures the surplus, and residual control rights, or who directs the actions that no contract or statute anticipates. Existing plans target totally different rights. Second, the talk argues for a form of minimalist nationalization, involving control rights rather than claim rights, and covering just two dangers from frontier AI: catastrophic risk and hard corporate power. Inspired by European golden shares, the government could halt a frontier AI company&#039;s training or deployment of a catastrophically risky system. For other risks, including national security failures, monopoly power and inequality, ordinary regulation and taxation are better options. The talk is based on joint work with Yonathan Arbel and Peter Salib.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker:&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;!--StartFragment--&gt;Simon Goldstein is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong and a Senior Editor at AI Frontiers. He works on the ethics and law of AI: whether AIs have interests of their own, what legal standing they should have, and how humanity can avoid catastrophe as AI grows more capable.

  &lt;p&gt;This lecture is designed to interest not only lawyers, but also persons from other walks of life (the law\u2019s vitality being highly dependent on \u201clay\u201d input).&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How facts are proved has evolved and is evolving. There was a time when the method of proving that someone was a witch made death the inevitable consequence of an accusation. That method came to be replaced by a lesser absurdity. By how he handled proof under this replacement, Lord Mansfield virtually abolished the \u201ccrime\u201d. Surprisingly, a vestige of trial by combaast was judicially recognized as recently as 1818. Unsurprisingly, it was abolished by statute the following year. In 1954, there was a case between two boxers as to which of them was legally the champion. The judge half-jokingly regretted that he could not order trial by combat.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sometimes finding the facts is a prelude to applying the law to them. At other times, as in The Case of Eight Loves decided in ancient Arabia, finding the facts concludes the case.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Proving facts has been changed by advances in science in regard to, among other things, bloodstains, fingerprints, ballistics and, above all, DNA (subject to any issue as to contamination). Persons acquitted before the advent of DNA evidence have, years later, upon DNA evidence, had their acquittals quashed and been convicted upon retrial. On the other side of the coin, a man convicted of murder was recently freed upon DNA evidence after spending 38 years in prison. There is a claim that DNA found on a shawl of a victim of Jack the Ripper has identified that most notorious of serial killers. If DNA evidence had been available then, the 10 Rillington Place murders might have been laid at the guilty Christie\u2019s door in time to spare the innocent Evans from hanging. Four decades after the A6 murder in 1962, DNA evidence showed that Hanratty was indeed guilty. A famous trial on whether a claimant was the son of a Rajah lasted 608 working days. If DNA evidence had been available then, it might have obviated the need for any trial let alone a long one.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;AI, approached with due caution, is useful when researching the law. It can also be resorted to in regard to the facts, for example when taking judicial notice after inquiry or when inserting social facts into Brandeis briefs and their like.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In traditional and modern societies alike, parties tend to adduce evidence more with a view to winning their cases than with establishing truth. That is a reality to be coped with.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Neither in civil nor in criminal cases does the burden of proof shift. &lt;em&gt;Res ipsa loquitur&lt;\/em&gt; reasoning in civil cases does not create a burden of disproof. Where the presumption of innocence is entrenched, reverse-onus provisions in criminal cases will either be read down to shift only and an evidential (rather than a persuasive) burden or else be struck down.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Crucial issues in civil and criminal cases alike are often resolved by inferential reasoning, the difference being that nothing will be inferred against a person charged with a crime unless it is the only reasonable inference.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Courts consider inherent probabilities and the demeanour of witnesses. It is important to guard against fading memory and growing imagination. Creditably, the taking of statements from Titanic survivors began within hours of the rescue ship the Carpathia tying up at New York.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Circumstantial evidence is unlike a chain as strong only as its weakest link. Like a rope, it has the combined strength of all its strands woven together.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cross-examination is very important, but is actually more apt to expose falsehood than discover truth.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the facts are proved up the hilt, \u201cthe proviso\u201d can save a result from being vitiated by legal error.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The common law rules of evidence came upon the scene later than one might think. They were conspicuously absent when Sir Walter Raleigh was tried for high treason in the early part of the17th century. These rules are technical, but neither in international nor domestic proceedings should we lose sight of the substantial justice such that such technicalities are meant to safeguard. When these rules are relaxed by statute, care must be taken to maintain such safeguards.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sherlock Holmes\u2019s reference to \u201cthe curious incident of the dog in the night-time\u201d is relevant to legal proceedings. But there is little, if any, room in legal proceedings for applying his dictum that \u201cwhen you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.\u201d&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The courts are duty-bound to keep up-to-date and just the substantive, procedural and evidential law they develop and apply.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kemal Bokhary&lt;\/strong&gt;, a Permanent Judge of the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal from 1 July 1997 to 25 October 2012 and a Non-Permanent Judge of that Court since then.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;\/ul&gt;\",\r\n            \"image\": \"https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20261007g_web.jpg\",\r\n            \"name\": \"CUHK LAW 20th Anniversary Distinguished Lecture Series \u2013 \u2018Proving Facts\u2019\",\r\n            \"url\": \"https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/events\/cuhk-law-20th-anniversary-distinguished-lecture-series-proving-facts\/\"\r\n        }\r\n        <\/script>\r\n                    <article class=\"mec-past-event mec-event-article mec-clear  mec-divider-toggle mec-toggle-202610-16760\" itemscope>\r\n                                    <div class=\"mec-event-image\"><a class=\"mec-color-hover\"  data-event-id=\"129997\" href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/events\/cuhk-law-20th-anniversary-distinguished-lecture-series-proving-facts\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20261007g_web-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" data-mec-postid=\"129997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20261007g_web-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20261007g_web-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20261007g_web-400x400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\r\n                                            <div class=\"mec-event-date mec-color\"><i class=\"mec-sl-calendar\"><\/i> <span class=\"mec-start-date-label\" itemprop=\"startDate\">October 07, 2026<\/span><\/div>\r\n                        <div class=\"mec-event-time mec-color\"><\/div>\r\n                                                                                <h4 class=\"mec-event-title\"><a class=\"mec-color-hover\"  data-event-id=\"129997\" href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/events\/cuhk-law-20th-anniversary-distinguished-lecture-series-proving-facts\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">CUHK LAW 20th Anniversary Distinguished Lecture Series \u2013 \u2018Proving Facts\u2019<\/a><span class=\"event-color\" style=\"background: #\"><\/span><\/h4>\r\n                    <div class=\"mec-event-detail\"><div class=\"mec-event-loc-place\"><i class=\"mec-sl-map-marker\"><\/i> Warren Chan Moot Court, Graduate Law Centre, 2\/F, Bank of America Tower, Central<\/div><\/div>                                                                                                            <\/article>\r\n            \t\t\r\n            \r\n                    <script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\r\n        {\r\n            \"@context\": \"http:\/\/schema.org\",\r\n            \"@type\": \"Event\",\r\n            \"eventStatus\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/EventScheduled\",\r\n            \"startDate\": \"2026-10-06\",\r\n            \"endDate\": \"2026-10-06\",\r\n            \"eventAttendanceMode\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/OfflineEventAttendanceMode\",\r\n            \"location\":\r\n            {\r\n                \"@type\": \"Place\",\r\n                                \"name\": \"Online\",\r\n                \"image\": \"\",\r\n                \"address\": \"Online\"\r\n                            },\r\n            \"organizer\":\r\n            {\r\n                \"@type\": \"Person\",\r\n                \"name\": \"\",\r\n                \"url\": \"\"\r\n            },\r\n            \"offers\":\r\n            {\r\n                \"url\": \"https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/events\/cctl-obligations-lab-asia-seminar-the-resilience-of-socialist-law-the-case-of-the-polish-law-of-obligations-by-prof-aleksander-grebieniow-online\/\",\r\n                \"price\": \"\",\r\n                \"priceCurrency\": \"$\",\r\n                \"availability\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/InStock\",\r\n                \"validFrom\": \"2026-10-06T00:00\"\r\n            },\r\n            \"performer\": \"\",\r\n            \"description\": \"&lt;img width=&quot;750&quot;

  &lt;p&gt;Until the enactment of the Polish Code of Obligations of 1933, no fewer than five legal orders \u2014 Austrian, German, French, Russian and Hungarian \u2014 were in force in the Polish territory. The outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 and Poland\u2019s post-1944 incorporation into the Soviet-dominated Eastern Bloc brought about the reception of Soviet legislative models, a situation that lasted until 1989. The collapse of the communist regime led to the establishment of democracy and a social market economy. In 1990, the Civil Code was purged of Soviet traces and the 1933 \u2018bourgeois\u2019 model of codification was restored. Despite the ideological and legal developments that followed the Second World War, the maturity of interwar legislation enabled a relatively smooth transition to capitalism.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Forty-five years of Socialist Law nevertheless left their mark on Polish private law. Despite the 1990 \u2018purge\u2019, many so-called \u2018legal survivals\u2019 remain in force. This paper examines selected legal institutions commonly associated with the socialist legal tradition that still exist in contemporary Polish Law of Obligations and discusses why they have survived.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prof. Dr. iur. hab.

  &lt;p&gt;There has been active discussion within the government and Legislative Council on building an AI foundational model for the GBA legal sectors\u2014as part of the broader vision for cross-border collaboration. Yet a fundamental challenge remains: how do we build such a model when the most valuable data in Hong Kong is also the most protected? This seminar explores the dilemma of legal AI adoption, where privileges, confidentiality obligations, and cross-border data flow are at issue. Drawing on practical experience, the seminar examines why working data in daily legal practice represents a valuable asset in law firms. It discusses the ground-level challenges firms face, from compliance concerns to the hidden costs of Shadow AI, and proposes pathways to enable confident AI adoption amongst Hong Kong law firms, big or small. Join us to understand how such organic transformation can ultimately fuel the regional AI model that the GBA envisions.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;font-size: 1em;&quot;&gt;About the Speaker:&lt;\/b&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mr. Edmund Chan&lt;\/strong&gt; is a former Partner at Baker McKenzie, where he specialized in Hong Kong capital markets and mergers &amp; acquisitions.

  &lt;p&gt;This seminar explores the interaction between Chinese customary law and the doctrine of adverse possession within Hong Kong\u2019s unique legal landscape. While adverse possession, rooted in English common law, allows individuals to acquire title through long-term occupation, Chinese customary law continues to govern traditional landholding practices in the New Territories, particularly concerning ancestral land and clan property. The coexistence of these systems raises complex questions: Can possession adverse to clan rights ever ripen into ownership? How do courts reconcile statutory provisions with customary norms? And what does this tension reveal about Hong Kong\u2019s pluralistic legal heritage? By examining key cases and doctrinal developments, the seminar highlights both the challenges and opportunities of harmonizing customary practices with modern property law, offering insights into broader debates on legal pluralism, cultural continuity, and the evolution of land rights in post-colonial jurisdictions.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr William Wong, S.C., has been in practice in Hong Kong since 1998.

  &lt;p&gt;Coal power plants can help support the renewable energy transition by providing a source of flexibility to electricity systems, enabling greater shares of wind and solar to be utilized and reducing the curtailment of zero fuel cost resources. However, the long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) that govern investments in coal power generation often impede flexible operation of coal power plants and thereby the integration of variable renewable energy. Although there is increasing awareness on the need to reform coal PPAs, there has been limited research on the specific adjustments that are needed to ensure that coal plants support, and not oppose, the energy transition. This seminar explores the specific barriers that coal contracts present to the phasing down of coal power, identifies contractual solutions, and explores renegotiation pathways to align coal contracts with the requirements of transforming power systems.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ernst is a Senior Associate Power System Transformation for Southeast Asia. He drives analytical and strategic initiatives on renewable energy investment, utility business model innovation and power system reform to enable greater integration of renewables. Based in Bangkok, he works closely with national and regional stakeholders to identify market and policy reform opportunities to accelerate the shift towards renewables-based electricity systems.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Moderator: &lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/people\/prof-hao-zhang\/&quot;&gt;Professor Hao Zhang&lt;\/a&gt;, CUHK LAW&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Discussants: &lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/people\/prof-martin-jarrett\/&quot;&gt;Professor Martin Jarrett&lt;\/a&gt;, CUHK LAW&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mr. Mike Thomas, Founding Partner at The Lantau Group&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mike Thomas is a founding partner at The Lantau Group with over 30 years of consulting experience, focussing on the energy sector.

  &lt;p&gt;The development of heritage safeguarding has followed markedly different historical paths on the Chinese Mainland, in Hong Kong and Macao. This seminar traces the evolution of legal, institutional and individual approaches to the preservation of cultural heritage across these three jurisdictions, examining how imperial traditions, colonial administration, political transformation, and international norms have shaped contemporary heritage protection regimes.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The seminar begins by exploring early Chinese attitudes towards the preservation of cultural relics and monuments, before considering the establishment of modern cultural heritage laws in the People&#039;s Republic of China and the growing influence of UNESCO conventions and international cultural policy. It then examines the distinct experiences of Hong Kong and Macao, where British and Portuguese colonial administrations developed different approaches to the protection of historic buildings, archaeological sites, and intangible cultural traditions. Particular attention will be paid to the emergence of heritage conservation movements, public participation in heritage protection, and the increasing recognition of cultural heritage as a component of identity, memory, and sustainable development.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The seminar will also consider the legal frameworks currently governing cultural heritage in the three jurisdictions and the challenges created by differing systems of governance under the \u201cOne Country, Two Systems\u201d framework. Topics will include the protection of movable and immovable heritage, intangible cultural heritage, world heritage sites, and the prevention of illicit trafficking in cultural objects. Recent efforts to promote cooperation within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will be assessed as part of a broader discussion about the future of regional heritage governance.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a

  &lt;p&gt;This talk examines the international law and practice of cultural heritage \u2013 focusing on Cambodia in light of its distinctive experience flowing from its rich ancient legacy and the extensive looting and destruction of cultural material during the Khmer Rouge regime in the 1970s.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It begins by reflecting on the development of heritage law and protection in Cambodia and the wider region. It considers the value of specialist education in this field, and the response it has received from students and institutions, particularly in Cambodia.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The lecture then introduces key aspects of the international cultural heritage law framework. Cambodia\u2019s experience is unique: within the wider history of colonial collecting, archaeological removal, conflict, and the international trade in cultural objects, the country has utilised the international system well. It has also seen numerous returns of illicitly exported cultural objects. However, this has not been due to a single effective legal remedy, but a combination of provenance research, diplomatic negotiation, criminal investigation, reputational pressure, and cooperation between art market participants.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Cambodian experience illustrates the possibilities of cultural property returns across ASEAN and the wider region, and the continuing limitations of an international system constrained by non-retroactivity, limitation periods, evidentiary difficulties, and unequal resources.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aimed at lawyers, academics, policymakers, and cultural heritage professionals, the lecture invites attendees to consider what Cambodia\u2019s experience can teach us about the future development of heritage law in Asia and beyond.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ruth Whittaker is a British-Cambodian legal consultant and lecturer. She developed and teaches Cambodia\u2019s first accredited undergraduate courses in International Cultural Property and Heritage Law. Ruth is also a consultant to the United Nations Assistance to the Khmer Rouge Trials (UNAKRT), supporting the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) during its residual

\u201creason\u201d or \u201cnature and reason\u201d. Lord Mansfield once called it \u201cprinciples of law, justice and humanity\u201d. Blackstone acknowledged natural law\u2019s immutability. Dr Johnson saw its rationality. Its modern credentials lie in Lord Radcliffe\u2019s 1960 call never to lose touch with natural law or give up the belief that all positive law bears some relation to it. Lon Fuller saw in every school of natural law a coalescence between what the law is and what it ought to be. Hans Kelsen, although a legal positivist, saw the natural law beliefs underlying America\u2019s Constitution. In 1825, with natural law at the forefront, the United States Supreme called slavery an institution of positive law against natural law. But in 1927, with natural law driven into solitary dissent, forced sterilization was approved by that court. Cicero spoke of right reason in harmony with nature, universal unchanging and everlasting. Pufendorf considered natural law essential to a good and peaceful society. Bao Gong saw social harmony\u2019s need for something higher than positive law. Aquinas in the 13th century and Gustav Radbruch in 1945 addressed the dire consequences of ignoring natural law. This law, the Doctor told the Student, is written in our hearts, teaching what is to be done and what is to be fled. Under an unwritten constitution, serious legislative departure from natural law might lead to judicial revisiting of absolute parliamentary supremacy. Independent judicial stewardship of entrenched freedom and rights-friendly constitutions secure natural law-based human rights. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights flowed from the belief that world peace is best secured by respecting human rights worldwide. Natural law was, as Judge Tanaka said, before, and independent of, the State. Long before, Coke said. Francis Bacon spoke of what is \u201ccorroborated and confirmed by law, but is the work of the law of nature\u201d. Natural law ideas exist among common lawyers, civilians, canonists and scholars of Islamic law. International law is, as Emmerich de Vattel said, the law of nature applied to States. Natural law and international law unite against the subjugation of one people by another. Professor Martin S Flaherty said that customary international law may prove more important than treaties to human rights protection. \u201cThe common law, now so called, is founded on the law of nature and reason\u201d, Mr Justice Aston said. Throughout common law and equity, there exists a substratum of natural law. We see that in, for instance, commercial law and tort. Administering criminal justice with mercy is natural law. Natural law is a perspective from which pandemic lockdowns are viewed. We can, and should, integrate natural law and positive law. Modern judges have a role in making human law conform to natural law.&lt;\/p&gt;               &lt;a tabindex=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Citations&lt;\/a&gt;      &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cases&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sharington v Strotton &lt;\/em&gt;(1564) 1Plowden 298&lt;\/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Calvin\u2019s Case &lt;\/em&gt;(1607) 7 Co Rep 1&lt;\/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dr Bonham\u2019s Case&lt;\/em&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;The jury has long occupied a distinctive position in common law criminal justice. It is not merely a mode of fact-finding. It is also a constitutional, democratic, and symbolic institution through which ordinary citizens participate directly in the administration of criminal justice. At its strongest, the jury is understood as a safeguard against excessive state power, a mechanism of community judgment, and a means by which criminal trial retains public legitimacy. At its most contested, however, the jury is criticised as expensive, slow, unpredictable, opaque, vulnerable to misunderstanding, and ill-suited to complex modern criminal litigation.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These tensions make the proposed event especially timely. In England and Wales, current reform debates have again placed jury trial under pressure, particularly in light of concerns about court backlogs, cost, delay, case complexity, and the administrative demands of criminal justice reform. In Hong Kong, jury trial remains an important but limited feature of the criminal process, operating within a distinctive constitutional and institutional context. Across Europe, lay decision-making takes different forms, including mixed courts, lay judges, and other models of public participation. The event would therefore use the jury as an entry point into a wider comparative question: what is the future of the lay decisionmaker in modern criminal justice?&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The primary aim of the symposium is not to defend or reject jury trial in the abstract, but to subject lay decision-making to serious and expert comparative scrutiny. By bringing together international judicial, practitioner, academic and juror perspectives, the event seeks to identify what forms of lay participation continue to contribute to legitimacy, fairness, and public confidence in criminal adjudication, and where alternative models of decision-making might better serve contemporary criminal justice.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;figure&quot;&gt;&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chair:&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;               &lt;a tabindex=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Prof. Jeremy Dein KC, CUHK LAW&lt;\/a&gt;      &lt;div class=&quot;figure&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/profile_jeremy_deinkc-300x300.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; \/&gt;&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jeremy Dein KC has been practising at the UK  criminal Bar since 1982.

  &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;&quot;&gt;Digitalisation is reshaping the legal rules that govern cross-border interactions and commercial dealings. As commerce, data flows, and digital assets increasingly transcend national borders, private international law, the discipline concerned with jurisdiction, choice of law, and the recognition and enforcement of judgments and arbitral awards, has acquired renewed significance while confronting fundamental challenges. This symposium arises from the research project &quot;The Impact of Digitalisation on Legal Rules Concerning Cross-Border Interactions and Commercial Dealings,&quot; sponsored by the Public Policy Research Funding Scheme of the HKSAR Chief Executive&#039;s Policy Unit, and examines four themes bearing on Hong Kong&#039;s role as a centre for international dispute resolution services.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;\/o:p&gt;&lt;\/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;&quot;&gt;The first theme concerns private international law in commercial arbitration viewed through the lens of national interest. It asks how a law district such as Hong Kong should design its rules on the law governing arbitration agreements, the deference of insolvency jurisdiction to arbitration, anti-suit injunctions, and the public policy exception in award enforcement, so as to advance its position as an arbitral seat. The second theme addresses cross-border data transfer. The United States, the European Union, and China have each developed hybrid mechanisms combining public regulation with private enforcement, such that questions of standing, forum, applicable law, and cross-border enforcement now lie at the heart of data governance. The third theme turns to cryptocurrencies. Because such assets exist only virtually, traditional rules premised on physical location struggle to localise them, raising contested questions of jurisdiction and applicable law recently considered by the English courts and the Law Commission of England and Wales, but not yet decided in Hong Kong. The fourth theme considers online dispute resolution (ODR) and digital justice. As cross-border disputes grow in volume and complexity, ODR platforms offer efficient, accessible, and technology-enabled avenues for resolving them, presenting significant opportunities for Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area to strengthen their dispute resolution infrastructure and services.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;\/o:p&gt;&lt;\/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;&quot;&gt;The symposium will consider these developments comparatively and reflect on the policy choices open to Hong Kong.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;\/o:p&gt;&lt;\/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speakers:&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;               &lt;a tabindex=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Prof. Sagi Peari, Associate Professor, University of Western Australia&lt;\/a&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Sagi Peari is an Associate Professor (equivalent to Full Professor in Hong Kong) at the University of Western Australia and is recognised as one of the leading private international law scholars worldwide. He is the only academic in Australia to have been selected by Oxford University Press to publish two research monographs in law, and he is the first scholar in fifty-five years to publish a book offering a global foundational theory of the legal effects of cross-border interactions: &lt;em&gt;The Foundation of Choice of Law&lt;\/em&gt; (Oxford University Press, 2018). His record of publication is similarly exceptional: he is the only scholar worldwide to have published full research articles in both of the leading and highly selective Commonwealth academic law journals\u2014the &lt;em&gt;Oxford Journal of Legal Studies&lt;\/em&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;Cambridge Law Journal&lt;\/em&gt;\u2014in the same year (2023). Professor Peari has also engaged extensively with law reform around the globe. His contributions include work relating to the US Third Conflicts Restatement, the Hague Conference on Private International Law\u2019s project on conflict of laws in digital and financial law, and the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law, and he has been appointed by the Law Commission of England and Wales to serve as an advisor on its Conflict of Laws and Digital Assets project. His unique blend of foundational theory and practical law reform experience brings a global theoretical dimension to the project.&lt;\/p&gt;             &lt;a tabindex=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Prof. King Fung Tsang, Associate Professor, CUHK LAW&lt;\/a&gt;      &lt;p&gt;King Fung Tsang is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Law at The Chinese University of Hong Kong and a leading scholar in private international law in Hong Kong. He is a co-author of one of the leading textbooks in the field, &lt;em&gt;An Introduction to the Conflict of Laws&lt;\/em&gt; (LexisNexis, 3rd ed., forthcoming 2025), which serves as a principal reference for students, practitioners, and courts in the jurisdiction. His scholarly reach extends well beyond Hong Kong: he has two research monographs forthcoming with the world\u2019s foremost university presses, namely &lt;em&gt;Chinese Private International Law: Mainland, Regional and Transnational Dimensions&lt;\/em&gt; (with Guangjian Tu, Oxford University Press) and &lt;em&gt;Transnational Litigation on FRAND&lt;\/em&gt; (with Jyh-An Lee, Cambridge University Press). Professor Tsang has published widely in leading international law journals, and the influence of his scholarship is evidenced by citations from courts and institutions across jurisdictions, including the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, the Supreme Court of Missouri, and the European Union. His combined expertise in Hong Kong, Chinese, and transnational conflict of laws places him at the forefront of comparative private international law scholarship in Asia.&lt;\/p&gt;             &lt;a tabindex=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Prof. Adeline Swee Ling Chong,  Associate Professor, Yong Pung How School of Law, Singapore Management University&lt;\/a&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Adeline Chong Swee Ling is a leading scholar in private international law in Singapore.

  &lt;p&gt;This presentation explores the enforcement architecture of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) from an empirical and doctrinal perspective. In particular, it examines the effectiveness of its numerous enforcement measures (regulatory action by data protection authorities, administrative fines, compliance obligations, and liability for damages) and overlapping judicial pathways (administrative and civil courts). As other EU digital laws have adopted similar enforcement regimes, and comparable approaches have emerged internationally, it will also be discussed whether this enforcement model represents a successful manifestation of the &quot;Brussels Effect&quot; or an example of regulatory overreach.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prof. Dr. Indra Spiecker gen.

  &lt;p&gt;The lecture will consider rescission on grounds of non-fraudulent misrepresentation. By way of introduction, Elliott KC will explain the origins of this ground for relief and its distinctive features by contrast with other grounds for rescission and other forms of relief. He will then focus on central issues raised in two important current decisions. The first case, &lt;em&gt;ANZ v ERO&lt;\/em&gt;, which is pending before the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal, raises the question whether rescission for innocent misrepresentation occurs by the election of the rescinding party or by court order. Elliott KC will explain the nature and significance of this issue and his reasons for considering that rescission occurs by party election. The second case, &lt;em&gt;Kuvera Properties v Far East Opus &lt;\/em&gt;[2026] 1 SLR 1035 (CA), concerned the application of statutory limitations to claims for damages and for rescission for misrepresentation. Focusing on aspects of the Singapore Court of Appeal\u2019s decision that are potentially applicable in Hong Kong, Elliott KC will explain and evaluate the court\u2019s judgment. This decision also gives insight into the operation of s 3(2) of the Misrepresentation Ordinance, a topic Elliott KC will also address.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Steven Elliott KC practices commercial litigation as a member of One Essex Court in London and Singapore. He has acted in or advised on litigation in most English law-based jurisdictions. Elliott KC has extensive trial experience and he has conducted numerous appeals before apex courts in England and elsewhere, most recently appearing as independent counsel in &lt;em&gt;Kuvera Properties v Far East Opus &lt;\/em&gt;[2026] 1 SLR 1035 (CA)&lt;em&gt;&lt;\/em&gt;. Elliott KC also serves as a professor of law (practice) at the National University of Singapore, where he teaches commercial remedies as well as equity and trusts. He is the general editor of &lt;em&gt;Snell\u2019s Equity &lt;\/em&gt;as well as an author of &lt;em&gt;The Law of Rescission&lt;\/em&gt;, amongst other works.  &lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;strong&gt;*&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Law Society of Hong Kong has awarded this seminar 1 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) point.&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;!--EndFragment --&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;\",\r\n            \"image\": \"https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260903b_web.jpg\",\r\n            \"name\": \"CCTL Obligations Lab Asia Seminar \u2013 \u2018Rescission for Misrepresentation\u2019 by Prof. Steven Elliott KC\",\r\n            \"url\": \"https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/events\/cctl-obligations-lab-asia-seminar-rescission-for-misrepresentation-by-prof-steven-elliott-kc\/\"\r\n        }\r\n        <\/script>\r\n                    <article class=\"mec-past-event mec-event-article mec-clear  mec-divider-toggle mec-toggle-202609-16760\" itemscope>\r\n                                    <div class=\"mec-event-image\"><a class=\"mec-color-hover\"  data-event-id=\"132710\" href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/events\/cctl-obligations-lab-asia-seminar-rescission-for-misrepresentation-by-prof-steven-elliott-kc\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260903b_web-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" data-mec-postid=\"132710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260903b_web-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260903b_web-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260903b_web-400x400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\r\n                                            <div class=\"mec-event-date mec-color\"><i class=\"mec-sl-calendar\"><\/i> <span class=\"mec-start-date-label\" itemprop=\"startDate\">September 03, 2026<\/span><\/div>\r\n                        <div class=\"mec-event-time mec-color\"><\/div>\r\n                                                                                <h4 class=\"mec-event-title\"><a class=\"mec-color-hover\"  data-event-id=\"132710\" href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/events\/cctl-obligations-lab-asia-seminar-rescission-for-misrepresentation-by-prof-steven-elliott-kc\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">CCTL Obligations Lab Asia Seminar \u2013 \u2018Rescission for Misrepresentation\u2019 by Prof. Steven Elliott KC<\/a><span class=\"event-color\" style=\"background: #\"><\/span><\/h4>\r\n                    <div class=\"mec-event-detail\"><div class=\"mec-event-loc-place\"><i class=\"mec-sl-map-marker\"><\/i> The CUHK Graduate Law Centre<\/div><\/div>                                                                                                            <\/article>\r\n            \t\t\r\n            \r\n                    <script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\r\n        {\r\n            \"@context\": \"http:\/\/schema.org\",\r\n            \"@type\": \"Event\",\r\n            \"eventStatus\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/EventScheduled\",\r\n            \"startDate\": \"2026-08-17\",\r\n            \"endDate\": \"2026-08-17\",\r\n            \"eventAttendanceMode\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/OfflineEventAttendanceMode\",\r\n            \"location\":\r\n            {\r\n                \"@type\": \"Place\",\r\n                                \"name\": \"LSK (Full Address)\",\r\n                \"image\": \"\",\r\n                \"address\": \"Lee Shau Kee Building, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin\"\r\n                            },\r\n            \"organizer\":\r\n            {\r\n                \"@type\": \"Person\",\r\n                \"name\": \"\",\r\n                \"url\": \"\"\r\n            },\r\n            \"offers\":\r\n            {\r\n                \"url\": \"https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/events\/cctl-environmental-energy-and-climate-law-cluster-seminar-the-imo-net-zero-framework-policy-fragmentation-and-the-just-and-equitable-energy-transition-of-international-shipping-by-prof-goran-dominioni\/\",\r\n                \"price\": \"\",\r\n                \"priceCurrency\": \"$\",\r\n                \"availability\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/InStock\",\r\n                \"validFrom\": \"2026-08-17T00:00\"\r\n            },\r\n            \"performer\": \"\",\r\n            \"description\": \"&lt;img width=&quot;750&quot;

If adopted, it will serve as the main policy to drive global emission reductions in international shipping. In the meantime, alternative proposals for decarbonizing the shipping sector have emerged at the IMO, and the EU and other actors have advanced work on regional and national shipping decarbonization policies. This presentation will discuss the potential risks posed by a fragmented regulatory landscape as well as options to address these risks.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Goran Dominioni is an Assistant Professor in Law at the School of Law and Government of Dublin City University and a Visiting Professor at the World Maritime University.

         Register      &lt;\/a&gt;   &lt;p&gt;Behind every new era lies the rise of a key factor of production: from land, oil, and electricity to data, and now it is the Token&#039;s turn. We build our analytical framework around the idea of &quot;intelligence as a service,&quot; arguing that what large models truly deliver is no longer merely a tool, but a form of intelligence that can be called upon, metered, and priced on demand. Following this thread, we go on to examine the nature, cost, value, and competitive logic of the Token economy. Our central claim is that competition in AI is shifting from &quot;can it be used&quot; to &quot;is it worth using.&quot; Token efficiency, the ROI of the AI era, will become the key measure for understanding this wave of technological revolution. Yet the ultimate standard for judging AI is never how many Tokens it consumes, but how much it helps people get done and how much it amplifies their abilities. The end point of the Token economy remains, after all, the human being.&lt;br \/&gt;\u6bcf\u500b\u65b0\u6642\u4ee3\u80cc\u5f8c\uff0c\u90fd\u6709\u4e00\u7a2e\u95dc\u9375\u751f\u7522\u8981\u7d20\u7684\u5d1b\u8d77\uff1a\u5f9e\u571f\u5730\u3001\u77f3\u6cb9\u3001\u96fb\u529b\u5230\u8cc7\u6599\uff0c\u4eca\u5929\u5247\u8f2a\u5230\u4e86 Token\u3002\u6211\u5011\u4ee5\u201c\u667a\u529b\u5373\u670d\u52d9\u201d\u70ba\u6838\u5fc3\u5efa\u7acb\u5206\u6790\u6846\u67b6\uff0c\u4e3b\u5f35\u5927\u6a21\u578b\u771f\u6b63\u4ea4\u4ed8\u7684\u5df2\u7d93\u4e0d\u53ea\u662f\u5de5\u5177\uff0c\u800c\u662f\u4e00\u7a2e\u53ef\u4ee5\u88ab\u6309\u9700\u8abf\u7528\u3001\u8a08\u91cf\u548c\u5b9a\u50f9\u7684\u667a\u529b\u670d\u52d9\u3002\u5faa\u8457\u9019\u4e00\u7dda\u7d22\uff0c\u6211\u5011\u9032\u4e00\u6b65\u8a0e\u8ad6 Token \u7d93\u6fdf\u7684\u672c\u8cea\u3001\u6210\u672c\u3001\u50f9\u503c\u8207\u7522\u696d\u7af6\u722d\u908f\u8f2f\u3002\u5176\u6838\u5fc3\u5224\u65b7\u662f\uff1aAI \u7af6\u722d\u6b63\u5728\u5f9e\u201c\u80fd\u4e0d\u80fd\u7528\u201d\u8f49\u5411\u201c\u7528\u5f97\u503c\u4e0d\u503c\u201d\uff0cToken \u6548\u7387\uff0c\u4e5f\u5c31\u662f AI \u6642\u4ee3\u7684 ROI\uff0c\u5c07\u6210\u70ba\u7406\u89e3\u9019\u4e00\u8f2a\u6280\u8853\u9769\u547d\u7684\u95dc\u9375\u5c3a\u5ea6\u3002\u800c\u8861\u91cf AI \u7684\u6700\u7d42\u6a19\u6e96\uff0c\u59cb\u7d42\u4e0d\u662f\u6d88\u8017\u4e86\u591a\u5c11 Token\uff0c\u800c\u662f\u5e6b\u52a9\u4eba\u5b8c\u6210\u4e86\u591a\u5c11\u4e8b\u60c5\u3001\u653e\u5927\u4e86\u591a\u5c11\u80fd\u529b\u3002Token \u7d93\u6fdf\u7684\u7d42\u9ede\uff0c\u4f9d\u7136\u662f\u4eba\u3002&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr. Jason Si is Vice President of Tencent and Dean of Tencent Research Institute.

on 9-10 November 2026.    Promoting good governance and tackling corruption are critical to achieving sustainable development and poverty reduction. Diversion of funds from development projects through corruption impairs the ability of governments, donors and the World Bank to achieve the goals of reducing poverty, attracting investment and encouraging good governance.    Scholars and practitioners from all relevant areas (development, law, finance, diplomacy, etc.) and sectors (non-profit, government, academia, international organizations, judiciary, private sector) are invited to submit proposals for contributions (i.e., essays, papers) to be presented at the symposium. Contributions may be conceptual, empirical, comparative, or practice-oriented, and may focus on one or more mechanisms. Interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral, and policy-relevant proposals are particularly encouraged.    &lt;strong&gt;Research themes include but are not limited to:&lt;\/strong&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Legal, Institutional, and Political Challenges&lt;\/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Models for Return and Allocation&lt;\/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Safeguards against Corruption and Misuse&lt;\/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Management of Assets&lt;\/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;MDB Financial Remedies as Development Tools&lt;\/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Innovations, Trends, and Research Gaps&lt;\/li&gt;  &lt;\/ul&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Submission Guidelines&lt;\/strong&gt;    A proposal should be 300-500 words and indicate explicitly how the proposed contribution relates to the Symposium\u2019s theme. The final essay\/paper submission should be 2,500-7,500 words without annexes. Please submit the proposal along with a short biography (including name(s), affiliation(s), and contact details) to &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:IntegritySymposium@worldbank.org&quot;&gt;IntegritySymposium@worldbank.org&lt;\/a&gt;. Please disclose and describe any use of generative artificial intelligence tools in the preparation of your submission. The paper\/essay does not have to be new\/unpublished material (&lt;em&gt;i.e.&lt;\/em&gt;, previously presented\/published materials are acceptable). For the unpublished materials, a publication opportunity may follow the symposium.

         Register      &lt;\/a&gt;   &lt;p&gt;English courts have taken two conflicting approaches to fair hearings. One line of cases says fairness or justice requires a hearing only when it stands to contribute to a more accurate overall decision. Another line of cases says that fairness requires a hearing independently of its contribution to an overall decision. Recently, many commentators have championed the second approach, usually based on an appeal to non-instrumental process values, such as respect and autonomy. By contrast, Prof. Adam Perry and Mr. Angelo Ryu favour the first, accuracy-centred approach. In this article, they offer a precise interpretation of that approach and a novel argument in its support. The Accuracy First principle they defend states that fairness does not demand an administrative hearing (or hearing of a certain form) unless there is a real chance that it will improve the accuracy of an authority\u2019s decision. Previous arguments for similar principles have tended to deny that there are process values. Their argumentative strategy is different: they show that the Accuracy First principle is consistent with the existence and importance of process values. &lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prof. Adam Perry grew up in Canada, where he studied economics and law. He came to Oxford in 2006 for the Bachelor of Civil Law and stayed to complete the MPhil and DPhil degrees. After holding academic positions at the European University Institute, the University of Aberdeen, and Queen Mary University of London, he returned to Oxford to take up my current position in 2015. He writes and teaches in administrative law, constitutional law, and the philosophy of law. He is Articles Editor for the &lt;em&gt;Oxford Journal of Legal Studies.&lt;\/em&gt; &lt;\/p&gt;\",\r\n            \"image\": \"https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260624_web.jpg\",\r\n            \"name\": \"CCTL Comparative Public Law Research Forum Seminar \u2013 \u2018Fair Hearings: Accuracy First\u2019 by Prof. Adam Perry (Online)\",\r\n            \"url\": \"https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/events\/cctl-comparative-public-law-research-forum-seminar-fair-hearings-accuracy-first-by-prof-adam-perry-online\/\"\r\n        }\r\n        <\/script>\r\n                    <article class=\"mec-past-event mec-event-article mec-clear  mec-divider-toggle mec-toggle-202606-16760\" itemscope>\r\n                                    <div class=\"mec-event-image\"><a class=\"mec-color-hover\"  data-event-id=\"129190\" href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/events\/cctl-comparative-public-law-research-forum-seminar-fair-hearings-accuracy-first-by-prof-adam-perry-online\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260624_web-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" data-mec-postid=\"129190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260624_web-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260624_web-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260624_web-400x400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\r\n                                            <div class=\"mec-event-date mec-color\"><i class=\"mec-sl-calendar\"><\/i> <span class=\"mec-start-date-label\" itemprop=\"startDate\">June 24, 2026<\/span><\/div>\r\n                        <div class=\"mec-event-time mec-color\"><\/div>\r\n                                                                                <h4 class=\"mec-event-title\"><a class=\"mec-color-hover\"  data-event-id=\"129190\" href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/events\/cctl-comparative-public-law-research-forum-seminar-fair-hearings-accuracy-first-by-prof-adam-perry-online\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">CCTL Comparative Public Law Research Forum Seminar \u2013 \u2018Fair Hearings: Accuracy First\u2019 by Prof. Adam Perry (Online)<\/a><span class=\"event-color\" style=\"background: #\"><\/span><\/h4>\r\n                    <div class=\"mec-event-detail\"><div class=\"mec-event-loc-place\"><i class=\"mec-sl-map-marker\"><\/i> Online<\/div><\/div>                                                                                                            <\/article>\r\n            \t\t\r\n            \r\n                    <script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\r\n        {\r\n            \"@context\": \"http:\/\/schema.org\",\r\n            \"@type\": \"Event\",\r\n            \"eventStatus\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/EventScheduled\",\r\n            \"startDate\": \"2026-06-17\",\r\n            \"endDate\": \"2026-06-17\",\r\n            \"eventAttendanceMode\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/OfflineEventAttendanceMode\",\r\n            \"location\":\r\n            {\r\n                \"@type\": \"Place\",\r\n                                \"name\": \"LSK (Full Address)\",\r\n                \"image\": \"\",\r\n                \"address\": \"Lee Shau Kee Building, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin\"\r\n                            },\r\n            \"organizer\":\r\n            {\r\n                \"@type\": \"Person\",\r\n                \"name\": \"\",\r\n                \"url\": \"\"\r\n            },\r\n            \"offers\":\r\n            {\r\n                \"url\": \"https:\/\/www.law.cuhk.edu.hk\/app\/events\/lecture-on-regulatory-interoperability-in-the-digital-economy-by-prof-neha-mishra\/\",\r\n                \"price\": \"\",\r\n                \"priceCurrency\": \"$\",\r\n                \"availability\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/InStock\",\r\n                \"validFrom\": \"2026-06-17T00:00\"\r\n            },\r\n            \"performer\": \"\",\r\n            \"description\": \"&lt;img width=&quot;750&quot;

         Register      &lt;\/a&gt;   &lt;p&gt;Regulatory interoperability is a buzzword in the digital policymaking world these days. Often portrayed as a response to the growing regulatory fragmentation and misalignment of digital policies across jurisdictions, regulatory interoperability is proffered as a pragmatic, flexible and feasible solution. But to date, little is understood as to how regulatory interoperability can function in practice, especially in navigating the complex tension between liberalisation of digital flows and growing calls for digital sovereignty in various forms.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To further unpack regulatory interoperability both conceptually and in practice, this presentation will unpack the origins of the idea of interoperability and its dynamic transition from military operations to current regulatory practices in the digital economy. In doing so, we explore what regulatory interoperability means in practice, and how it differs from existing ideas of regulatory harmonisation and mutual recognition. We also look at potential forms and incentives for regulatory interoperability in the digital world. The presentation uses the illustrative example of cross-border data flows. It looks at how emerging frameworks on cross-border interoperability are more commonplace in international treaties and more informal or extra-legal practices but remain limited to specific groups of countries and often imperfect and imprecise in practice. However, more needs to be understood both as to how to ground regulatory interoperability in international\/transnational legal practice, especially the limits and challenges are in the real world.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The key message of this presentation is that regulatory interoperability is pivotal as a policy design in transnational digital and data governance. It can promote efficiency, legal and business certainty, technological innovation and, if implemented equitably, can even prevent specific digital powers from dictating the future rules of the digital economy. However, operationalising regulatory interoperability necessitates caution and a pragmatic outlook. This is because governments navigate critical concerns of security and privacy, while often dealing with the difficult consequences of deep dependence on a counted number of digital powers and limited regulatory capacity. Both institutions and procedural mechanisms matter in addition to choosing the right regulatory areas, jurisdictions, and regulatory scope for pushing interoperability initiatives.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker:&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Neha Mishra is Assistant Professor in the international law department of the Geneva Graduate Institute.

However, their roles within non-adjudicative implementation and compliance processes\u2014a notable feature of international environmental law\u2014remain underexplored. This seminar discusses environmental NGOs\u2019 compliance-enhancing roles, locating its analysis in two types of civil society participation mechanisms that modern free trade agreements have increasingly incorporated to monitor compliance with environmental provisions. Based on extensive empirical data collected from semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis, it maps environmental NGOs\u2019 compliance-enhancing roles as informants, interpreters, and response generators and examines their breadth and limits.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Siyu Bao is a PhD candidate and Graduate Lecturer at University College London Faculty of Laws.

for domestic governance championed by the US during prior waves of \u201claw and development\u201d have been supplemented or succeeded by China\u2019s nascent approach promote a different approach\u2014arguable a different model\u2014of law and development. China\u2019s impact operates  at two distinct but intertwined analytical levels: international rules, norms, and institutions and the internal orders of states that are increasingly reliant on or affected by China (primarily, although not exclusively, in the Global South).  For now, the project remains inchoate, fragmented and somewhat ambivalent, but its distinctive characteristics and impact are increasingly discernible.    &lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:    Jacques deLisle\u2019s research and teaching focus on contemporary Chinese law and politics, including: legal reform and its relationship to economic reform and political change in China, the international status of Taiwan and cross-Strait relations, China\u2019s engagement with the international order, legal and political issues in Hong Kong under Chinese rule, and U.S.-China relations.    His writings on these subjects appear in a variety of fora, including international relations journals, edited volumes of multidisciplinary scholarship, and Asian studies journals, as well as law reviews.

         Register      &lt;\/a&gt;   &lt;p&gt;National industrial strategies for building critical technologies challenge the scope of \u2018national security\u2019 in international intellectual property (IP) protection. National security provisions in the WTO are traditionally considered in the military context or \u2018an emergency in international relations\u2019 where actions are necessary to safeguard countries\u2019 essential security interests. However, it does not reflect the security issues emerging from new digital technologies. On the other hand, many recent Preferential Trade Agreements (PTAs) have expanded the scope of national security to include cybersecurity-related measures. The speaker investigates the legal solutions that aim to tackle the unpredictability and instability created by selected trade measures based on national security and other non-economic objectives in international intellectual property protection. These measures include trade bans on the export and import of digital technologies and blocking investments to prevent the diffusion of intellectual property. In order to ensure inclusivity and participation of civil society, the speaker proposes a broad scope of national security to encompass cybersecurity and a multistakeholder model for governing critical technologies.  &lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Link to the academic paper: &lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/jwip.70021&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/jwip.70021&lt;\/a&gt; &lt;br \/&gt;Link to the briefing paper: &lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/citp.ac.uk\/publications\/national-security-and-intellectual-property-protection-of-critical-technologies&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;https:\/\/citp.ac.uk\/publications\/national-security-and-intellectual-property-protection-of-critical-technologies&lt;\/a&gt; &lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Phoebe Li is Professor in Law and Technology, Director of the Sussex Centre for Law and Technology (SCLT) at the University of Sussex in the UK.

         Register      &lt;\/a&gt;   &lt;p&gt;\u201cDemocracy versus Authoritarianism\u201d has been the most recent characterization of the West\u2019s struggle against the rest, whether the overall struggle is dated back 500 years to include traditional colonialism or merely 100 years to begin with the capitalist fight against communism. This characterization has become problematic because not all Western countries can now objectively be classified as working democracies. The US is governed far more as an oligarchy, despite having legally guaranteed democratic rights. The wellbeing of ordinary Americans has decreased year-on-year for decades and it has been demonstrated that preferences of the majority of US citizens cede to policies reflecting elite interests. On the other hand, nations with alternative governance forms that effectively control powerful oligarchs, notably China and Russia, have markedly increased the economic and social wellbeing of their citizens. Yet each limitation placed on oligarch power triggers strong condemnation and even aggression from the West.  In a period when China has peacefully lifted about 800 million of its own people out of poverty, the United States has taken economic wellbeing and political power from the majority of citizens and passed it to a wealthy elite, launched dozens of overt and covert regime-change operations to topple governments limiting oligarch power, and now openly prepares for a war against China without any rational justification. The conceit of \u201cfree world democracy versus authoritarianism\u201d has come to lack all explanatory value. A better criterion marking when the West turns against the rest appears to be when a country limits the power of internationally connected oligarchs. If that is indeed the case, this behavior would be difficult to distinguish from colonialism. This essay explores the validity of such a reconceptualization.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;David C.

         Register      &lt;\/a&gt;   &lt;p&gt;The Greater Bay Area is one of the world&#039;s most dynamic economic zones, yet within its borders, three distinct legal systems govern how banks handle customer data. This talk presents findings from our empirical study on personal data protection practices across the banking sectors in Hong Kong, Macau, and Mainland China. Our research reveals significant inconsistencies in how regional banks apply privacy policies, particularly regarding the treatment of personal and sensitive data, data processing protocols, and the protection of minors&#039; information. These discrepancies stem from deep-rooted differences in regional laws, regulations, and judicial interpretations, creating legal uncertainties that directly impede cross-border data transfer. Drawing on concrete evidence from all three jurisdictions, I will discuss the practical challenges of aligning disparate legal frameworks and propose the development of data protection standards for the banking industry. Such standards can serve as practical guidelines to resolve existing regulatory inconsistencies, enable compliant daily operations across the three regions, and ultimately foster the secure and seamless flow of data that the Greater Bay Area&#039;s financial integration demands.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;font-size: 1em;&quot;&gt;About the Speaker:&lt;\/b&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dr. Li Du&lt;\/b&gt; is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Law and a Research Fellow at the Asia-Pacific Academy of Economics and Management, University of Macau, Macau SAR, where he also serves as Director of the Centre for Empirical Legal Studies and PhD Program Coordinator.

European airlines have long argued that competition with Middle Eastern carriers is unfair, mainly because of alleged government subsidies and regulatory asymmetries. As Middle Eastern carriers capture a significant share of connecting traffic between Europe and Asia, European and Asian airlines are calling on their governments to take action, stressing that fair competition is a condition for market access.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The current Iran crisis highlights how much the EU\u2013Asia aviation market has depended on Middle Eastern airlines. At this forum, four renowned aviation law experts will discuss this transnational development.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speakers&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;\/ul&gt;               &lt;a tabindex=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Mr. Emmanuel Vivet, French Ministry of Transport&lt;\/a&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Emmanuel Vivet, is an aviation specialist with over 20 years of experience.

         Register      &lt;\/a&gt;   &lt;p&gt;China\u2019s patent prosecution and enforcement landscape has been transformed over the past decade. At the regulatory level, the Patent Law has undergone sweeping amendments, accompanied by a cascade of implementing rules, administrative measures, and judicial interpretations that have recalibrated core doctrines, procedures, and remedies. Institutionally, the system has continued to professionalize: specialized intellectual property (IP) courts and tribunals have expanded, and the former State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) has been reorganized into the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), reshaping examination and administrative enforcement practice. Substantively, new frontiers have moved to center stage, from standard-essential patents and FRAND licensing\u2014often with cross-border implications\u2014to the challenges posed by artificial intelligence for inventorship, disclosure, and patentable subject matter. Meanwhile, a rapidly growing body of patent and IP case law is providing clearer guidance on evidence, injunctions, damages (including punitive damages), and the interplay between administrative adjudication and civil litigation.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Against this backdrop, this seminar convenes leading experts to distill and discuss the latest developments in patent law across Greater China. Topics will include cutting-edge issues in patent enforcement and remedies, and sector-specific insights, with particular attention to the pharmaceutical and gaming industries. Participants will gain practical takeaways on strategy, risk, and compliance in a regime that is maturing swiftly and setting important markers for global IP practice.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speakers&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt;               &lt;a tabindex=&quot;0&quot;&gt;Stefan Luginbuehl, Head of Department, European Patent Office&lt;\/a&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Stefan Luginbuehl, PhD, lawyer, is Head of Department IP Lab \u2013 Patent Policy at the European Patent Office where he is dealing with a wide range of patent law and patent litigation related subjects, including the patent policy in China, Japan, Korea and other Asian countries.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He participated in several Diplomatic and Intergovernmental Conferences on the reform of the European patent system and the international litigation system.

         Register      &lt;\/a&gt;   &lt;p&gt;This talk reevaluates the literary and historical significance of native Chinese crime fiction in the late Qing and early Republican period (1900s\u20131910s). Previous scholarship on crime fiction in the twentieth century has focused either on translations of stories such as &lt;em&gt;Sherlock Holmes&lt;\/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Ars\u00e8ne Lupin&lt;\/em&gt;, or on later Chinese detective fiction that imitated these foreign classics. Native, mixed-style crime fiction that combines the narrative techniques of detective fiction with traditional genre elements has generally been regarded as immature and conservative works in transition. Using &lt;em&gt;Mrs. Chun N\u00e9e E&lt;\/em&gt; (&lt;em&gt;Chun A Shi&lt;\/em&gt; \u6625\u963f\u6c0f, before 1911), a hybrid novel of detective fiction and romantic tragedy, as an example, Dr. Zhao shows that the author\u2019s mixture of narrative conventions is an attempt to domesticate detective fiction for a local audience and is key to the novel\u2019s success. Moreover, Dr. Zhao argues that, far from being a \u201cconservative\u201d work as many scholars have claimed, the novel acutely challenges the stringent ritual foundation of the legal system which crowded out unorthodox emotive possibilities and forms of expression. The author\u2019s somewhat neutral stance toward legal reform and newly imported literary genres should not be seen as a sign of conservatism; rather, it implicitly points to multiple possibilities of judicial modernity and literary development at the turn of the twentieth century.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mengdie Zhao is an Assistant

This presentation examines how this imbalance, especially the under-documentation of RM research and governance activity in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in the Global South, produces epistemic injustice by obscuring the region&#039;s contributions to RM and biotechnology development and regulation. Drawing on mapping of mid- to late-stage clinical trial activity and comparative analysis of regulatory frameworks across selected countries in Africa and Asia, the presentation argues that LMICs are not passive recipients of RM innovation. Instead, they demonstrate agency through strategic adoption of international clinical research and regulatory norms, and through locally grounded adaptation of governance approaches in response to resource constraints, disease burdens, and cultural-ethical contexts.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;\/o:p&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The presentation shows that RM governance in many LMICs proceeds through hybrid pathways, often folded into existing pharmaceutical, biologics, or clinical research regulation, while some jurisdictions develop more tailored guidance for cell and gene therapies. These regulatory choices are not merely technical; they shape which forms of RM become visible, investment-worthy, and commercially viable, and they condition who is recognized as a legitimate innovator in the global knowledge economy. At the same time, regulatory and infrastructural gaps, limited Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) capacity, and uneven enforcement enable persistent risks, including the proliferation of unproven stem cell interventions and the growth of medical tourism markets. The presentation concludes that recognizing Global South adoption, adaptation, and agency in RM governance is essential not only for epistemic justice, but for more equitable and effective global biotechnology law and health innovation.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;\/o:p&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ubaka Ogbogu is a Professor in the Faculty of Law at University of Alberta.

         Register      &lt;\/a&gt;   &lt;p&gt;Commerce have had a factual global reach for more than five hundred years. Throughout, its legal-institutional structuration has taken manifold forms. Few regimes have been stable or dominant for more than a few decades and opponent regimes and perspectives have always operated on the margins. Taking a bird\u2019s eye view three organising approaches however appear dominant. One has global norms as its core, i.e. legal-managerial norms which can deployed anywhere in the global space without this implying a claim to supremacy or coherency. The second has universalist norms as its core, i.e. norms based on claims of hierarchy, coherency and \u2018complete applicability\u2019. The former is mainly associated with international private law and the latter with international public law and both has a European origin. The third is the manifold countermovement\u2019s, relying on resistance norms, observable throughout global history whenever yet another layer of the global space became penetrated by globally interconnected forms of commerce.&lt;br&gt; Departing from the above threefold distinction the paper zooms in on the (dis-)continuities between colonial law and contemporary forms of global law. The point of departure is the hypothesis that the two forms of law are functionally equivalent but normatively dis-equivalent. This again has substantial consequences for the argumentation strategies of post-colonial counter perspectives. The era of fragmented globalisation we now live in, i.e. a world characterised by global interconnectedness and interdependence but with no centre, is moreover likely to be one characterised by a relative dominance of global norms.&lt;\/p&gt;

          Register       &lt;\/a&gt;    &lt;p&gt;One of the most fundamental principles of the common law of contract is that the parties\u2019 rights and obligations are determined objectively. When interpreting written contracts, courts ask what would reasonable people in the position of the parties have understood the contract to have meant. The actual parties\u2019 subjective beliefs are irrelevant. Yet a line of cases appear to suggest that this principle does not apply when a contract is oral or partly oral. Instead, as Lord Neuberger put it in &lt;i&gt;Thorner v Major&lt;\/i&gt; [2009] 1 WLR 776, \u201cthe parties\u2019 subjective understanding of what they were agreeing is admissible\u201d and indeed \u201cpositively helpful\u2026 to assist in the interpretation of an oral contract.\u201d&lt;\/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In this seminar, Dr Jordan English will consider this supposed rule, the cases that support it, and the possible justifications for an oral-contracts exception to the objectivity principle. Ultimately, he will argue that evidence of subjective understandings should be admissible only as evidence from which a court can infer what was likely communicated between the parties and therefore objectively agreed\u2014it is not relevant or admissible to the interpretation of the terms of an oral contract.&lt;\/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The talk will be based upon a paper co-written with Viktoria Winzer (Barrister, 3 Verulam Buildings) due to be published in the July edition of the &lt;i&gt;Law Quarterly Review&lt;\/i&gt;.&lt;\/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-size: 1em;&quot;&gt;About the Speaker:&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Jordan English is an Associate Professor of Law at the University of Oxford and a Tutor and Fellow in Law at Magdalen College.

         Register      &lt;\/a&gt;   &lt;p&gt;In this one-hour seminar at The Chinese University of Hong Kong on 13 April 2026, Archie Parnell will analyze fiscal choices available to jurisdictions when external climate measures are imposed upon them beyond the 1992 UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and its subsequent agreements. His focus will be on two contrasting jurisdictions: Hong Kong and India.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Archie&#039;s analysis will draw on the HKUST Report he co-authored with Christine Loh in 2026 (Integrating the Kigali Amendment into Hong Kong&#039;s Building Retrofit Strategy: From Energy Efficiency to Cooling Efficiency in the Next Climate Action Plan). Among the report&#039;s recommendations, he will focus on a tax measure designed to help Hong Kong meet its obligations under the Kigali Amendment, which amends the 1989 Montreal Protocol to address ozone-depleting chemicals. If adopted, the tax measure, along with others in the report, would accelerate building retrofits in Hong Kong and hasten the phase-down of high-GWP HFCs.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He will then contrast this with India&#039;s possible reactions to the European Union&#039;s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), effective since January 2026. Facing significant added costs on steel and aluminum exports (90% of Indian exports to Europe), with a potential annual impact of US$2 to 4 billion, India may consider defensive fiscal measures to retain that revenue internally rather than ceding it to the EU as CBAM tariffs. These retained revenues would be redirected toward domestic decarbonization. Archie will analyze the types of defensive measures being discussed and the outlook for adoption.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By comparing these two distinct fiscal responses, one incentive-driven and the other revenueprotective, the lecture will illustrate practical options available to jurisdictions seeking to safeguard economic sovereignty while advancing climate objectives when confronted with external climate rules.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This seminar is jointly co-organized with International Fiscal Association \u2013 HK Branch.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Archie Parnell is an Adjunct Professor at HKUST and a Professor of Law at Jindal Global University Law School in India, where he teaches tax law, including courses addressing climate change.

         Register      &lt;\/a&gt;   &lt;p&gt;In Singapore the discretion to prosecute or not to prosecute is vested in the Attorney-General as Public Prosecutor.  Although the A-G cannot consider every single case, ultimately he is responsible for the decision to commence or not commence criminal proceedings.This lecture will deal with the matters that have to be considered when a decision to prosecute or not to prosecute is taken.  A good prosecutor must decide in accordance with the law.  But often there are issues of policy involved in these decisions.  The ethical dimension of prosecutorial decisions is important.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;\/o:p&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An understanding of how prosecutorial decisions are made is useful not only for prosecutors but also for defence counsel, civil lawyers and even the lay public.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;\/o:p&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speakers&lt;\/strong&gt;:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Professor Walter Woon Cheong Ming SC is currently the Lee Kong Chian Visiting Professor, Yong Pung How School of Law at the Singapore Management University; Honorary Fellow of St John\u2019s College Cambridge University; Emeritus Professor (formerly David Marshall Professor of Law) at the National University of Singapore; and Chairman Emeritus of RHTLaw Asia LL.P in Singapore.

         Register      &lt;\/a&gt;   &lt;p&gt;The ICAO is a United Nations\u2019 specialized agency on international aviation and the ICAO Council has a mandatory dispute settlement function under the Convention of International Civil Aviation, signed in Chicago in 1944 (\u201cChicago Convention\u201d). ICAO was officially established in 1947, and the Chicago Convention now has 193 member states. The history of the ICAO\u2019s dispute settlement was not encouraging. Only five cases were presented during the seventy years of ICAO (1947-2016), and in none of them did the ICAO Council issue a decision on the merits of the case. However, the settlement of disputes of the Chicago Convention has revitalized since 2016. From 2016 to 2025, seven applications have been presented to the ICAO Council. Since 2020, there have been three important developments. First, the ICJ Qatar Decision in 2020 clarified the scope of the ICAO\u2019s dispute settlement. Second, the rules of dispute settlement were substantially revised in 2024. Third, and the most importantly, the ICAO made a landmark decision regarding the Malaysian Airline Flight 17 crash in May 2025, which was the first time in ICAO\u2019s history that its Council has made a determination on the merits of a dispute. This seminar analyses these three important developments, anticipate the future and evaluate the direction.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker:&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;br \/&gt;Prof. &lt;a
