What is the Hong Kong SAR Legal system like?

Hong Kong SAR is a special administrative region of the People's Republic of China and has its own legal system. Hong Kong's legal system is based on English law and is based on principles such as fair trial, independent judiciary, rule of law and protection of fundamental human rights. The legislative branch of Hong Kong is the Legislative Council, which is the legislative branch of the Hong Kong Government. The Legislative Council consists of elected members and includes representatives of the people of Hong Kong. The Legislative Council is responsible for enacting, amending or repealing local laws. Hong Kong's judicial branch is independent and is represented by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Courts. Courts interpret and apply local laws. The Supreme Court consists of various judicial bodies such as Judges, Deputy Judges and Magistrates. Hong Kong's legal system is based on a set of fundamental legal instruments intended to protect the rule of law and an independent judiciary. These include fundamental laws, human rights instruments and international agreements. There have been various political and legal debates in Hong Kong in recent years. Protests in 2019 and the National Security Law implemented in 2020 have raised concerns about Hong Kong's legal system and independent judiciary. These debates have created uncertainties over the future of Hong Kong's legal system.
