Primary legislation in Hong Kong are usually known as ‘Ordinances’, instead of ‘Acts’. The published, consolidated copies of Ordinances are given chapter numbers in Laws of Hong Kong and in the official online database.

agree philgoddard : Probably Latin, capitulum. The asker could have found this by looking up the ordinance.
