This article is an edited version of a research paper which proposes the creation of a Hong Kong International Commercial Court (HKICC) as a means of further developing the Hong Kong SAR as a legal and dispute resolution hub. In formulating a model for the proposed HKICC, extensive comparisons are made with the China International Commercial Court (CICC) and the Singapore International Commercial Court (SICC), the instruments which created them, the services they provide and experiences in their use.
