The purported settlement was not binding because plaintiff did not grant actual authority to Ms Wong and there was no representation by plaintiff (nor conduct by plaintiff or a person with actual authority) creating apparent authority; consequently defendant remained liable for negligence and plaintiff awarded damages totalling HKD 334,810 less the HKD 8,000 payment with specified interest and costs orders.
