Document background
The Waiver of Service document is a crucial instrument in Hong Kong's legal system that facilitates efficient commencement of legal proceedings. It is typically used when parties wish to expedite the legal process by avoiding the formal service requirements while maintaining legal protections. This document becomes relevant when a defendant or respondent is willing to acknowledge receipt of legal documents without requiring formal service through traditional channels. The waiver must comply with Hong Kong's High Court Ordinance and related regulations, ensuring that while formal service is waived, all other legal rights and defenses are preserved. The document includes essential details about the legal proceeding, clear statements of waiver, and confirmations of document receipt, making it a vital tool in civil litigation practice in Hong Kong.
