Internet Fraud in Hong Kong: An Analysis of a Sample of Court Cases
Chapter
Abstract
This chapter analyzes a selection of court cases concerning Internet crimes, particularly those involving Internet banking fraud. The rule of law is a core value of the government in Hong Kong, which seeks to provide a secure environment in which both individuals and organizations can transact business both online and offline. This chapter provides a snapshot of how Hong Kong’s Internet governance regime operates by examining a sample of Internet fraud cases from the mid-1990s. It shows how the rule of law has helped Hong Kong to achieve its place as an economic hub in Asia.
