Mr. J. Betts
Registrar, Supreme Court
Hong Kong
Dear Sir,
First of all, I must thank you for the hospitality you
extended to me and my colleagues during our visit to Hong Kong. I
am also grateful for the effort made by you and your colleagues to
bring to a conclusion the matter of mutual assistance between the
courts of Guangdong and the Courts of Hong Kong for the service of
procedural documents in civil and economic proceedings.
On behalf of the Guangdong High People's Court, I have the
honour at this moment to inform you that we agree to implement, with
effect from 1 July, 1988, the seven points concerning mutual assistance
between the High People's Court of Guangdong and the Supreme Court of
Hong Kong for the service of procedural documents in civil and economic
proceedings. That is:
1) Both parties agree that each may entrust to the other
party the service of documents in respect of civil
and economic proceedings. Such documents include:
copy of originating process, copy of notice of
appeal, writ of summons, judgment, mediation award,
letter of decision and notice.
2) When the entrusting party requests the entrusted
party to serve any of the above mentioned procedural
documents, it must produce its written authorization
bearing its seal. The letter of entrustment should
be in the Chinese and English language. It must also
indicate the full name and address of the person
to be served.
