The Legislative Assembly (AL) yesterday passed the outline of a government-initiated bill regulating the city’s arbitration procedures, which aims to encourage residents to choose arbitration as an alternative means of dispute resolution.
Secretary for Administration and Justice Sonia Chan Hoi Fan introduced the outline of the bill, which is to replace the city’s current rules on the arbitration process, during a plenary session in the legislature’s hemicycle yesterday.
