- HCA1631/2021
Leave to adduce the expert report was refused because the proposed expert evidence would not assist the court in resolving the legal consequences of the termination: the employment was terminated by payment in lieu in accordance with the contract and the Employment Ordinance, and alleged fabrication or bad faith in the investigatory process would not alter the legal consequence or increase recoverable damages beyond what is payable on lawful termination; therefore the expert evidence was irrelevant and appropriately excluded at the interlocutory stage as a case management decision.
