The Judiciary today (Nov. 26) announced that the existing e-Appointment services will be extended to self-bankruptcy petitions and probate applications in the High Court on Friday (Nov. 29).
Self-bankruptcy petitions in High Court Registry
Unrepresented court users can make online appointments via www.judiciary.hk/en/court_services_facilities/brci_index.html for attending the High Court Registry to file petitions for their own bankruptcy (self-bankruptcy petitions). Those who are registered users of "iAM Smart" may use the auto form-filling function of "iAM Smart" to provide relevant personal data for making online appointments. This will be a newly introduced function in e-Appointment services. It will gradually be included in other e-Appointment services in light of operational experience.
Applications for grant in Probate Registry
The Probate Registry e-Appointment service for applications for grant will be extended to cover probate applications. Unrepresented litigants can make online appointments via www.judiciary.hk/en/court_services_facilities/pres_index.html for submitting applications for a grant with a will.
The Guidance Notes with details of the above new e-Appointment services are available on the corresponding dedicated webpages above.
