- HCMA410/2022
Documentary evidence (business registration and signed settlement agreement) plus credible witness testimony established appellant was a partner who arranged, directed and engaged the worker and was therefore an employer under the Ordinance; appellant's claimed lack of control of funds and status as a salaried partner did not amount to an objectively reasonable excuse; s64 consent was produced; on retrial standard conviction is safe beyond reasonable doubt, so appeal dismissed.
