YU YIXIN v. LEUNG CHI TIN ANDY
Court

District Court
Case number

DCEC431/2006

The court accepted the applicant's evidence but found the medical report deficient in reasoning and insufficient to displace the Assessment Board's 1% loss of earning capacity; accordingly the court adopted the Board's 1% assessment and awarded statutory compensation calculated from the applicant's declared wage, plus medical expenses, interest and costs.
