The Department of Justice today officially launched the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) Legal Information Platform.

The platform provides legal and policy information concerning business operations, employment and daily life within the GBA. It aims to support residents and businesses in the region while promoting the construction of the rule of law.

It consolidates information across six major areas: housing, business, work, education, family and healthcare.

The website features updates on rule-of-law developments, including GBA standards for lawyers, mediation and mechanisms allowing Hong Kong-invested enterprises to adopt Hong Kong law and choose Hong Kong as an arbitration seat.

The platform implements initiatives from the Policy Address and the department’s Action Plan on the Construction of Rule of Law in the GBA.

Deputy Secretary for Justice Cheung Kwok-kwan said the platform uses a "one question, three answers" format to address common issues that area residents may encounter with concise, practical information.

Mr Cheung expressed hope that the resource would facilitate the flow of people and economic exchanges within the GBA.
