ABSTRACT

The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HK SAR) is a part of China and is located at the south-eastern coast of the mainland. Since the common law system applies in Hong Kong, litigation may be dealt with in accordance with precedent cases or relevant statutes, such as the Company Ordinance. During off-peak season, the Cruise Terminal building and operational area may be used for other purposes such as seminars, exhibitions and conventions with prior written approval of the Hong Kong Government. More recently, the Hong Kong SAR Government is revitalising old historic buildings under the 'Revitalising Historic Buildings through Partnership Scheme' and a number of projects have been awarded to the private sector for revitalising and conservation purposes. To cope with population and urban growth, solid waste management facilities were procured using the design, build, operate (DBO) model, whereas the AsiaWorld-Expo and Hong Kong Disneyland were based on a more generic Public Private Partnership (PPP) approach.
