Champerty is part of Hong Kong law by virtue of the Application of English Law Ordinance, but the public‑policy doctrine of champerty is confined to civil litigation and does not extend to private consensual arbitration; the consultancy agreement was not champertous and clause 3 created an enforceable obligation for the on‑account payment, therefore judgment for the Plaintiff for the sum claimed with interest and costs nisi.
