Consumer/Business Disputes in Hong Kong
Consumer Council
If the trader fails to address your concerns after you have inquired directly, you may lodge a complaint with the Consumer Council. Some examples of problems the Council may be able to resolve include goods or services not corresponding to their description, delays in delivery or other dissatisfaction with service. You may lodge your complaint in a number of ways:
Online
- Complaint (Consumer Complaint Form - To facilitate the upload of attachment(s), you are advised to use Microsoft Internet Explorer.)
- Enquiry (Consumer Enquiry Form)
In writing
write down all the details of the incident and the points of dissatisfaction.
Specify the claim and, with a copy of related receipts or documents, send to the Council:

Small Claim Tribunal
The Small Claims Tribunal deals quickly, informally and inexpensively with claims not exceeding HK$50,000. Although the Tribunal is a court, the rules of evidence are less strictly adhered to than in most other courts, and no person can normally be represented by a lawyer.
