- HCLA154/2003
The Court held that although paragraph 1(a) of the Labour Tribunal Ordinance Schedule does not cover contracts performed wholly outside Hong Kong (per Matheson), claims for wages and statutory benefits protected by the Employment Ordinance are claims arising from failure to comply with that Ordinance and therefore fall within paragraph 1(b); accordingly the Labour Tribunal has jurisdiction to adjudicate the claimant's claim for wages, end of year payment and annual leave pay even though the employment was performed in Shanghai. The appeal was dismissed.
