We are pleased to announce the addition of new UK Annotated Statutes to Westlaw HK.
THE FIRST TAKE ON NEW LAW
- What will be the impact of new legislation?
- How might it be interpreted by the courts?
- How has its effect changed in light of subsequent legislation and case law?
UK Annotated Statutes on Westlaw HK will give you the most authoritative and up-to-date guidance on the law as it changes over time by way of amendment or judicial consideration.
This major new product development will help you understand how the law affects you.
Fast and Accurate – Trust the Experts
Within two weeks of Royal Assent our team of 40 lawyers, led by parliamentary Counsel Daniel Greenberg, will explain the effect, purpose and likely application of new Acts and selected Statutory Instruments.
UK Annotated Statutes give you the insight you need, when you need it most.

Our team of experts will monitor the legal environment and capture any key changes that affect the interpretation of legislation. UK Annotated Statutes will be updated in line with such changes to ensure that your research material is up-to-date when you need it.
