Lord Woolf nevertheless decided that the basic function of pleadings required
re-statement as part of his endeavour to instil a change of culture in the civil justice
system.
However, since the Working Party has decided against recommending a
wholesale re-writing of the rules along the lines of the CPR, we are of the view that
adoption of a rule re-stating the basic requirements of pleadings would serve little
purpose in the Hong Kong context. Proposal 9 is therefore not recommended. Other
initiatives may be more fruitful.
Recommendation 19: Proposal 9 (for a restatement of what pleadings should
contain) not be adopted.
