Dealing quickly and conveniently with civil claims which are relatively small in amount, the Small Claims Tribunal of Hong Kong (Tribunal) is a well-patronised forum which should have attracted academic attention because of its focus on the monetary daims of consumers. This has not however happened. This article seeks to fill this gap in the current literature. It makes an evaluation of the Tribunal by measuring its actual praxis with reference to its professed objectives, namely, to provide an accessible, quick and informal means of resofring smull claims. We also review the Tribunal's problems and make a range of reform proposals designed to improve further the operation of the Tribunal.
