Abstract

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Hong Kong Judiciary adjourned all court proceedings from 29 January. This was known as the General Adjournment Period (GAP) which lasted until 4 May 2020. During the GAP, exceptions were made for “urgent and essential hearings and/or matters”. Given the volume of cases in the Court system, this has caused a tremendous backlog of court business.
