Supreme Court (Hong Kong)
- Supreme Court (Hong Kong)
The Supreme Court was the highest court in Hong Kong prior to the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the People's Republic of China in 1997 and heard cases passed on from the lower courts. Appeals from the Supreme Court were heard by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in the United Kingdom.
After the transfer of sovereignty it was renamed as the High Court. Appeals from the High Court are now heard by the Court of Final Appeal which was established on 1 July 1997.
