摘要

隨著高等法院訴訟規則、調解條例的頒佈實施及調解實務指示、調解守則的發佈，香港在調解制度方面建設日趨完善。在懲罰性訴訟費用制度的輔助下，香港調解制度表現出一種「柔性」強制的特徵。但是，這種「柔性」強制並未剝奪當事人在調解程序中的自主權。香港調解制度並沒有過分強調調解等替代性糾紛解決方式的非規範化及非職業化，而是通過調解的制度化建設充分發揮調解的專業性和職業性優勢。這不僅可以充分保障調解的保密性與中立性，而且可以嚴格保證調解服務的品質。儘管香港調解的制度化與職業化發展還處於初級階段，但是其發展方向值得內地及臺灣地區借鑒。

The mediation system in Hong Kong is becoming more and more complete, with the promulgation of the Rules of the High Court and Mediation Ordinance and the issue of the Mediation Practice Directions. With the aid of punitive litigation costs system, there seems to be some flexible- mandatory features in the mediation system of Hong Kong. However, it does not deprive parties the liberty in mediation. Even The non-institutionalization and non-professionalism of the mediation are not over-emphasized in Hong Kong, but the professional and occupational institutions have been fully employed. This can not only fully ensure the confidentiality and neutrality of mediation, but also strictly protect the quality of mediation services. Despite the devolvement of institutionalization and professionalism of mediation in Hong Kong is still in its infancy, its direction is worth learning for Mainland and Taiwan.
