The appeal court held that the judge's award of full loss of earnings for the entire 32 months was unsustainable because after the MAB‑approved sick leave the joint medical evidence showed the plaintiff was fit for light work; the plaintiff failed to adduce evidence of attempts to mitigate; therefore the award was reduced and substituted with a quantified assessment of loss: HK$140,000 loss of earnings and HK$7,000 MPF.
