- Court
- District Court
- Case number
- DCEC1752/2014
On the overall evaluation the relationship was an employer-employee one: Pat Tat owned and managed the transport business, controlled clients and orders, paid all vehicle outgoings and Mr Lau bore no operational risk; payments to Mr Lau were fixed fees per consignment plus habitual miscellaneous income attributable to Pat Tat's services, therefore Pat Tat is liable under the ECO and the court included miscellaneous/extra work payments in earnings and calculated statutory awards accordingly.
