The function of the Ad hoc Legal Sub-Committee is to consider current maritime law issues so that the Association can contribute towards the wider debate of these issues and relevant reform. Issues are chosen by the Executive Committee and a Sub-Committee is constituted accordingly. Issues range from international issues under consideration by CMI and other international bodies (e.g. international conventions), to domestic issues which relate exclusively to Hong Kong (e.g. civil justice reform).
