On 18 March 2025, Ms. Clara Yip, Consultant and CSC Master (on temporary sitting) gave a CPD seminar on the topic “Practice Direction 31.1 and Case Settlement Initiatives in Civil Cases in the District Court”.
The Judiciary has promulgated a Practice Direction 31.1 effective from 2nd January 2025 on Case Settlement Initiatives in Civil Cases in the District Court. The Practice Direction sets out the practice for Case Settlement Conference (“CSC”) and Mediator-Assisted CSC (“MCSC”) in some civil cases before the District Court.
The seminar, hosted by Hong Kong Academy of Law, introduced the principles and process of CSC and MCSC at the District Court. Ms. Yip shared with our profession about the actual operation and practical tips on Solicitors’ preparation for and attending the CSC and MCSC.”
