On the afternoon of July 6, the Guangdong Provincial Department of Justice issued the first batch of lawyers in the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area for four Hong Kong and Macao lawyers. This is an important step in the connection between the mainland and Hong Kong and Macau in recent years.

After Hong Kong and Macau returned to the motherland, the Mainland and Hong Kong and Macau worked together in terms of unblocked judicial law rules and have achieved fruitful results.

Since the 21st meeting of the Standing Committee of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of August 2020 decided to authorize the State Council to carry out this pilot work in the nine cities of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area in the Mainland of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area.

The marriage and family civil case judgments, mutual recognition and execution of civil and commercial case judgments, etc., basically realize the full coverage of judicial assistance in the civil and commercial field.

On February 25 this year, the Supreme People's Court and the Macau Special Administrative Region signed the "Arrangement on Assistance to the Mainland and the Macau Special Administrative Region on arbitration procedures." This is the fifth judicial assistance arrangement signed by Macau since the return of the motherland. The arrangement signifies that the two places have achieved more optimized, perfect, and comprehensive judicial cooperation in the field of people and business, fully reflect the institutional advantages of the "one country, two systems", and effectively promote the practical development of the "one country, two systems" in the judicial field.

Not only that, in terms of improving cross -domain judicial services, the People's Court of the Greater Bay Area Mainland is committed to meeting the "needs of Hong Kong and Macao" and "Bay Area". The Supreme People's Court released on June 23 this year's "Report on the Construction of the People's Court of Service and Guarantee of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (2019-2022)" shows that after in-depth promotion of cross-domain litigation service reform, 100%of the People's Court of the Greater Bay Area provides provided 100%provided Cross -domain filing services, parties can submit prosecution materials to courts with jurisdiction through the nearby people's court litigation service center.
