For those who missed it, I referred in a recent article to plans by the Hong Kong judiciary to bring forward a practice direction for the management of electronic information in civil proceedings, starting with the Commercial List.

As I said in that article, my source of information about this is Menachem Hasofer, a partner in Mayer Brown JSM in Hong Kong. Menachem Hasofer is, with others, the author of a useful summary of eDiscovery developments in Singapore and Hong Kong which is recent enough to include reference to the proposed Hong Kong practice direction.

I have been spending more time in Hong Kong than in Singapore recently. I hope that opportunity will arise shortly to redress the balance and pay another visit to Singapore.
