Edward Alder had the honour of giving a short welcome speech at a dinner for Lord Phillips GBS NPJ held by the Hong Kong Maritime Law Association. Lord Phillips is in Hong Kong to sit in the Court of Final Appeal. Details and photos of the event here: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7151065089477894145/

This coincided with the first ever webcast of a CFA hearing, an appeal on a point of statutory construction on which Lord Phillips was sitting. Details here: www.hkcfa.hk/en/work/broadcast/webcast/index.html

This will be the Court’s regular practice in future.
