Course Outline:

Are you a solicitor who feels that their knowledge of Hong Kong constitutional law is less good than it should be? Could your understanding of the powers of the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), and Article 158 of the Hong Kong Basic Law, be stronger? Do you feel that your legal understanding of major constitutional events like the 2016 Legislative Council Oath-Taking Controversy and the West Kowloon Station Co-Location Arrangement could be improved?

Then please join this refresher seminar on Hong Kong constitutional law.  Using accessible, easy-to-understand explanations and examples, your seminar leader will guide you through the separation of powers in Hong Kong, constitutional interpretation, the powers of the NPCSC through Hong Kong's Basic Law, subsidiary legislation, and significant constitutional milestones in recent years.  Don't worry that your existing knowledge of Hong Kong constitutional law is too weak to join - this seminar is exactly for you.  All welcome.  Please note that we will not be discussing the national security law due to the ongoing nature of events.

Key points covered:

  • Separation of powers in Hong Kong
  • Constitutional interpretation in Hong Kong
  • Powers of the NPCSC and Article 158 of the Basic Law
  • Case study in the 2016 Legislative Council Oath-Taking Controversy
  • Case study in the West Kowloon Station Co-Location Arrangement
  • Subsidiary legislation
