They go through the issue of Force Majeure clauses and changes related to court hearings in Hong Kong. These include legal basis of remote hearings and new modes that have been recently implemented, for example video and telephone conferencing facilities, as well as hurdles faced by the local Courts during this unprecedented pandemic.
