HCPI150/2011

The court dismissed the plaintiff's claim: the fall resulted from the plaintiff's own misstep caused by inattention while performing multiple tasks, not from a defect or negligence by the employer; the stage was safe and the employer was not negligent in leaving the simple task to the employees; evidence did not establish causation of the asserted ongoing disabilities.

HKSAR v. LEIGHTON-CHINA STATE JOINT VENTURE

Citation

HKSAR v. LEIGHTON-CHINA STATE JOINT VENTURE
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMA430/2002

The appeal is dismissed because the Appellant failed to comply with the statutory 24‑hour reporting obligation and withheld material evidence (the photograph and the presence of the tung ga), thereby creating positive reasons to refuse an order for public payment of costs despite the acquittal; submission of a Form 2 did not satisfy the statutory reporting duty.
