Discovery; involing Rule 30(b)(6)
Article Abstract:
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(b)(6) was designed to streamline discovery, but created an effective mechanism for obtaining binding admissions that might lead to summary judgment or to winning trials. The real beauty of the rule is that it assures you a witness who can give complete and binding answers on the relevant subject matters, obliging the entity to prepare those persons for that task, whether from documents, past employees, or other sources. The whole point of the rule is that it creates testimony that binds the corporate entity.

In Hong Kong, the 'rule of law' reigns supreme; after reverting to Chinese rule, the new Hong Kong SAR retains its legacy of constitutionalism
Article Abstract:
The rise of constitutionalism, the growth of judicial cosmopolitanism, and the development of a Hong Kong version of common-law ecumenism mark the first year of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR), established on July 1, 1997. Court rulings by the SAR courts upholding the legality of the Provisional Legislative Council and declaring unconstitutional certain laws passed by the SAR Legislature show their independence in adjudicating cases after the resumption of Chinese sovereignty over Hong Kong.
