SINGH BALJIT v. FORWARD & CO. LAWYERS
- Citation
- [2022] HKCFI 153
- Court
- Court of First Instance
- Case number
- HCA552/2020
The statement of claim is substantially and essentially a claim for wrongful dismissal and other monetary reliefs within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Labour Tribunal; the pleaded assertions do not disclose a reasonable cause of action in tort and the Court of First Instance therefore lacks jurisdiction to hear the claim, so the Master’s order striking out the statement of claim is upheld and the appeal is dismissed.
