High-frequency volatility forecasting typically separates measurement from prediction: intraday observations are first compressed into a daily realized measure using a fixed aggregation rule, and the resulting statistic is then passed to a forecasting model. This conventional pipeline therefore treats measure construction as forecast-agnostic preprocessing.
Not always trustworthy - the limits of the fraud trust
In Xu Qiangli v Elabs Company Limited [2024] HKDC 1230, the Court examined the limits to the constructive trust frequently asserted in fraud cases, and struck out the Plaintiffs’ plea of constructive trust on the basis that it disclosed no reasonable cause of action. The decision illustrates the limits to this species of constructive trust, and provides insight into what considerations practitioners should have regard to in properly formulating such a claim.
专属管辖权条款在破产程序中的效力：评Guy Kwok-hung Lam[2023] HKCFA 9一案
在终审法院最新颁布的 Re Guy Kwok-hung Lam [2023] HKCFA 9突破性裁决中，终审法院驳回了该案的上诉，并且在判词中就专属管辖权条款（EJC）是否对提交破产呈请有影响这一棘手问题作出裁决，平息了长期对于相关议题的争论。 简而言之，终审法院认可上诉法院大多数法官对于本案的观点，认为一般来说，如果呈请债务的基础争议受制于专属管辖权条款，除非有其他反面因素存在（例如债务人破产的风险将会影响第三方、债务人的呈请以几乎无意义的争议为基础，或者发生滥用法律程序的情况等）， 则法院应驳回该破产呈请。 终审法院在裁定中指出，当只有一名债权人提出破产呈请，而没有证据表明全体债权人都面临风险时，破产制度背后的公共政策因素的重要性则显着降低。 这一裁定反映了法院非常重视当事人自治的原则，以及当事人之间自由达成的协议。该判决将会对破产领域产生深远的影响，以及对处理清算及破产呈请中的仲裁条款产生涟漪效应。
