The Court held the Tribunal correctly applied Lam Siu Wai: because the respondent terminated the contract by exercising contractual rights and paid the contractual notice period, the applicant had no legal basis to claim 12 months' compensation; accordingly the Tribunal did not err in law in striking out the compensation claim, and the costs order compensating the respondent for wages paid to employee witnesses was lawful under s28(1) of the Labour Tribunal Ordinance.
