Welcome to the Market Misconduct Tribunal's home page.

The Tribunal is an independent full-time body, which is established under the Securities and Futures Ordinance, chaired by a judge or former judge of the High Court who sits with two members appointed by the Chief Executive.

Market misconduct includes insider dealing, false trading, price rigging, stock market manipulation, disclosure of information about prohibited transactions and disclosure of false or misleading information inducing transactions in securities and futures contracts. Such conduct is detrimental to the interests of investors and damages the reputation of Hong Kong as an international financial centre. The Market Misconduct Tribunal conducts civil proceedings in public and, where appropriate, imposes civil sanctions against those it determines to be wrongdoers. It helps promote market confidence by protecting the interests of the investing public and reducing market malpractice.

This home page contains readily accessible information about the Market Misconduct Tribunal and its work. The full text of all the Market Misconduct Tribunal's published reports will be made available on this site.

The Hon. Mr. Justice Lunn
Chairman of the Market Misconduct Tribunal
