The Commission considers for reform those aspects of the laws of Hong Kong which are referred to it by the Secretary for Justice or the Chief Justice. Members of the Commission are appointed by the Chief Executive, on the advice of the Secretary for Justice, and include academic and practising lawyers, and prominent members of the community.
The Commission has published reports covering subjects as diverse as commercial arbitration, interception of communications, privity of contract, divorce and fraud. The Commission is currently considering references on archives law, access to information and cybercrime.
