Abstract
In the spring of 2006, the Centre for Comparative and Public Law began research aimed at identifying the most effective laws and policies to eliminate and deter profit-making crime by means of interdicting crime-tainted property (i.e. the proceeds and instruments of serious crime). In particular, the project considers whether Hong Kong should follow the international trend in adopting a civil forfeiture regime. forfeiture laws are controversial as they use more relaxed rules of civil evidence and procedure to deprive individuals of property associated with crime, even if there is no criminal conviction. Civil Forfeiture for Hong Kong? is a discussion paper that reviews the existing legal regime in Hong Kong and canvasses the need for more forfeiture laws together with specific issues related to international civil forfeiture systems.
