The definition of "contract of employment" in s.2 of the Labour Tribunal Ordinance, which covers agreements "wherever the services are to be rendered", includes contracts performed outside Hong Kong; the Schedule reference to performance in Hong Kong or under Cap.78 was not intended to limit that definition. Therefore the plaintiff's claim falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Labour Tribunal and the court should not entertain the action.
