Schedule 1(a) of the Labour Tribunal Ordinance restricts the Tribunal's jurisdiction to contracts of employment to be performed in Hong Kong and to overseas contracts governed by Cap.78; thus contracts to be performed outside Hong Kong (not falling under Cap.78) are excluded from the Tribunal's exclusive jurisdiction. The appellant's contract, performed in Indonesia, was therefore not within the Labour Tribunal's exclusive jurisdiction and the court action must be restored.
