    ALI HASHAM v. BM HUMAN RESOURCES & CONSTRUCTIONS LTD

    Citation
    [2025] HKDC 2035
    Court
    District Court
    Case number
    DCEC914/2024

    The court held that the respondent's s.16 argument was improperly raised after liability had been determined and, on the evidence, the respondent failed to satisfy statutory requirements of s.16 (no specific time/place/doctor notified), so the applicant's right was not extinguished; the respondent's challenge to the certified sick leave was time-barred by s.18 and in any event the employer failed to rebut the presumption under s.10(2); therefore the Form 7 figures were accepted and compensation was assessed accordingly.

    Kwok Chi Yip v. Wan Kei Geotechnical Engineering Co. Ltd. and Another

    Citation
    Kwok Chi Yip v. Wan Kei Geotechnical Engineering Co. Ltd. and Another
    Court
    District Court
    Case number
    DCEC180/2001

    The court held that the proceedings were properly brought as an appeal under section 18 against the Review Assessment Board's Certificate dated 28 December 2000, not as a fresh s18A claim governed by the two year limitation in s14(1); accordingly the s14(4) summons was unnecessary and no order was made on it. The judge further held (hypothetically) that had the matter required a s14(4) decision the late application would have been refused for inordinate delay and lack of reasonable excuse.
