MONEY CONCEPTS (ASIA) LTD v. YEUNG CHUNG WING

MONEY CONCEPTS (ASIA) LTD v. YEUNG CHUNG WING

The appeal is dismissed because the Agreement expressly placed the obligation to obtain and maintain licences on the representative (clauses 3a/3b); the Adjudicator correctly found no sufficient evidence that the Claimant's failure to forward PIBA notices caused suspension or that the Agreement was illegal or void; any implied term was limited to reasonable administrative support and there was no breach entitling the Appellant to relief.
