Hong Kong has published its long-awaited Code of Practice for
third party funders, and announced that amendments to the
Arbitration Ordinance which permit funding of Hong Kong
arbitrations will come fully into force on 1 February 2019. Similar
amendments to the Mediation Ordinance (Cap. 620) have been deferred
for further consultation.
The Code of Practice was gazetted on 7 December 2018. The full
text is available here.

We will post again shortly with further comment and analysis of
the Code of Practice.
