The court accepted the prior EC case finding that the plaintiff was employed by the defendant and on that basis (and on the evidence) found the defendant breached statutory employer duties under Cap 509 and occupier duties under Cap 314; those breaches caused the plaintiff's injuries and justify an award of damages totalling HK$241,430 after credits and reductions; claims for pre‑trial loss of earnings, future loss of earnings and loss of earning capacity failed for lack of evidence and because the plaintiff, as an asylum seeker, was not lawfully employable.
