Procedural Posture

Employee Compensation / Application for Leave to Appeal; Interlocutory Hearing on Summonses

  1. 1 Whether leave to appeal should be granted under District Court Ordinance s63A(2)
  2. 2 Whether the 2021 judgment should be set aside
  3. 3 Whether the additional monetary claims (HK$18,256,000 and US$8,000,000) fall within the scope of the Employees' Compensation Ordinance proceedings

Ratio Decidendi

Leave to appeal was refused because the applicant had no reasonable prospect of success under s63A(2) and no other compelling reason to hear the appeal; several summonses were not shown to have been properly served; the proceedings are limited to compensation under s9, s10 and s10A of the Employees' Compensation Ordinance, so the asserted separate monetary claims fell outside the scope; accordingly the five summonses were set aside and leave denied.

Court Disposition

Leave to appeal refused; five summonses set aside

Orders

  • Leave to appeal refused
  • Five interlocutory summonses issued by the applicant on 17 June 2025 are set aside
