Course Outline:

This three-hour course will consider Chinese custom and law in Hong Kong.  The seminar will consider how Chinese custom was introduced to the common law of Hong Kong, what Chinese custom was recognised by the laws of Hong Kong and how that recognition has developed the law and the custom.  The main focus of the seminar will be on the curious case of the Chinese customary trust - recognised only in the law of Hong Kong and only for land in the New Territories of Hong Kong.  We will consider whether these trusts, in particular the t’so and the t’ong, are trusts, what these trusts may do, what obligations are on their managers, what rights their beneficiaries have, and how they may be created and brought to an end.

Some of the topics considered in this seminar include:

  • What Chinese custom has been recognised in the law of Hong Kong;
  • How has that recognition changed;
  • Chinese customary trusts- the t’so and the t’ong;
  • How are they formed;
  • Are Chinese customary trusts really trusts?
  • T’so and t’ong managers as trustees;
  • How Chinese customary trusts may be brought to an end.
