CO MINH v. MING HING GEM CO. LTD.
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV180/1993

The trial judge correctly found no binding agreement for a three-year term or 15% shares on the evidence and that the defendant failed to prove incorporation of the factory regulations; accordingly the Employment Ordinance applied to deem the contract a monthly contract entitling the plaintiff to one month's wages in lieu of notice, and the award of $8,500 was correct. The appeal is dismissed.

CHIU CHUNG YUET-KING AND OTHERS v. GOOD EARTH TRAVEL SERVICE
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCSA10/1979

The tribunal's finding that there was no express oral promise stands, but the adjudicator erred in resolving the critical factual issue on inadequate evidence without warning the parties that the absent witness should be called; that procedural unfairness requires the matter be remitted for retrial by another adjudicator; costs of the appeal to be the appellants' costs in the cause.
