This month’s updates help Hong Kong solicitors and counsel move faster from question to authority—whether you are working from a matter document, a party name, or a research memo full of citations.

Attach a matter document to Research

In Research, use Attach document under the query box to ground questions in the contract, pleading, or chronology you are reviewing—including Chinese-language materials—so answers stay tied to your facts.

Keep research documents in your Files library

Documents you attach to Research no longer disappear after indexing. Open Library → Files to organise uploads, download originals when you need them, and optionally include a file when you share a conversation with colleagues.

Find the right judgment by party name

English party-name lookups such as HKSAR v … now resolve more reliably to the correct judgment, even when the stored caption is Chinese, and return a grounded case brief rather than a thin near-match.

Click through citations in research answers

Research memos link neutral citations and common docket forms to case pages. Hover a citation badge for a short excerpt, then open the judgment when you need the full text.

Practice directions alongside cases and legislation

Browse Practice Directions, or let Search and Research surface related directions when they matter to your question, with links to related authorities.

Jump from headnote to the right paragraph

On a case page, Summary paragraph links take you into Full Judgment at the matching place—less scrolling, faster verification.

Signed-in subscribers can try these updates today from Research, Search, Library, and Practice Directions.
