Mayer Brown Legal Update
The Minor Works Control System (“MWCS”) came into effect on 31 December 2010 through amendment to the Buildings Ordinance set out in the Buildings (Amendment) Ordinance 2008 and the Building (Minor Works) Regulation (“B(MW)R”)- (Cap.123N). The new MWCS allows the public to carry out minor works in private buildings through simplified procedures.
